Theoretical Underpinnings of the System's Decision-Making Process

• Decision Theory: Utilize principles from decision theory, where the system's decision-making can be modeled as a function that chooses the action with the highest expected utility, considering the probabilities of various outcomes and their respective utilities.

• Bayesian Inference: In the context of threat detection, Bayesian inference can be applied to update the probabilities of a contract being malicious based on new evidence (opcode analysis). The posterior probability is updated as new data is observed, refining the model's predictions.

• Information Theory: Concepts like entropy and information gain can be employed to measure the amount of information each opcode or feature contributes to the classification decision, guiding feature selection and model optimization.

These mathematical formulations and theoretical concepts provide a solid foundation for the system's opcode analysis, threat assessment, and decision-making processes, ensuring that the system's actions are grounded in rigorous mathematical principles.
