On the Production of Anorexic Plan Diagrams

Summary: Formalizes plan diagrams for optimizer search spaces; shows optimal reduction NP-hard even with storage limits. Linear-time greedy reduction with optimal guarantees; fast plan-cost estimators show diagrams shrink to anorexic sizes with minimal cost. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
