| contents | We present three algorithms with formal correctness guarantees and complexity bounds for the problem of selecting a diverse, multi-locale set of sources from ranked search results. First, we formulate weighted locale allocation as a constrained integer partition problem and give an $O(n \log n)$ algorithm that simultaneously satisfies minimum-representation, budget-exhaustion, and proportionality-bound constraints; we prove all three hold with a tight deviation bound of $< 1$. Second, we define a cascaded country-code inference function as a deterministic priority chain over heterogeneous signals (TLD structure, model-inferred metadata, language fallback) and prove it satisfies both determinism and graceful degradation. Third, we introduce a $κ$-domain diversity constraint for source selection and give an $O(|K| \cdot R)$ algorithm that maintains the invariant via hash-map lookup, eliminating the aggregator monopolization pathology present in URL-level deduplication. We further formalize Latent Objective Induction (LOI), an environment-shaping operator over prompt spaces that steers downstream model behavior without restricting the feasible output set, and prove its convergence under mild assumptions. Applied to a multi-locale retrieval pipeline, these algorithms yield 62% improvement in first-party source ratio and 89% reduction in same-domain duplication across 120 multilingual queries. |
