Multi-Universe Strategic Optimization: Minimax Theory for CEO Decision Systems

Worst-case utility optimization across parallel business universes and its implementation in MARIA OS

CEO decisions are multi-objective: each strategy affects Finance, Market, HR, and Regulatory universes with partially conflicting goals. This paper formalizes the problem as a minimax game over universe-utility vectors, derives `StrategyScore S = min_i U_i` as a robust objective candidate, constructs conflict matrices from inter-universe correlations, and characterizes a computable Pareto frontier. We connect the framework to MARIA OS MAX-gate design and report simulation results where minimax-oriented policies improved worst-case outcomes by 34% versus weighted-average baselines while retaining 91% of best-case upside.

Safety-First Minimax Production: Optimizing Throughput Under Hard Safety Constraints

Minimizing safety risk subject to throughput maximization constraints using minimax optimization and responsibility-gated production decisions

Manufacturing throughput and worker safety are often treated as competing objectives. This paper introduces a minimax formulation that prioritizes worst-case safety risk minimization subject to throughput-floor guarantees. The Lagrangian dual form yields gate-threshold rules for production decisions, and MARIA OS responsibility gates enforce hard safety overrides at each node. In an automotive assembly-line simulation, the framework reported 99.7% safety compliance with a 3.2% throughput reduction versus unconstrained production.
