Thermodynamics as a theory of bounded rational decision-making

Published on Oct 16, 20124659 Views

Perfectly rational decision-makers maximize expected utility, but crucially ignore the resource costs incurred when determining optimal actions. Here we propose an information-theoretic formalization
