Your robot's execution horizon is not a tuning knob. It is the solution to an equation with a wall in it.
Community description: Nine 2026 papers name the amortization-vs-staleness tension in action-chunk execution horizons; none writes the objective down. Derive it and the horizon stops being task-specific — with a floor cheap inference cannot cross and a wall where no horizon is feasible.

Automated excerpt
Amortization — each query costs λ_c (latency, energy, a real-time budget), so the per-step query cost falls like λ_c/L. There is no feasible execution horizon at all. Same variance, same mean, different decision.
