In this paper, a generalized information-theoretic framework for the emergence of multi-resolution hierarchical tree abstractions is developed. By leveraging ideas from information-theoretic signal encoding with side information, this paper develops a tree search problem which considers the generation of multi-resolution tree abstractions when there are multiple sources of relevant and irrelevant, or possibly confidential, information. We rigorously formulate an information-theoretic driven tree abstraction problem and discuss its connections with information-theoretic privacy and resource-limited systems. The problem structure is investigated and a novel algorithm, called G-tree search, is proposed. The proposed algorithm is analyzed and a number of theoretical results are established, including the optimally of the G-tree search algorithm. To demonstrate the utility of the proposed framework, we apply our method to a real-world example and provide a discussion of the results from the viewpoint of designing hierarchical abstractions for autonomous systems.
