Description

We start with the question how evolution can be optimized in the sense that certain sensors would appear favored over others given the niche and phenotype of an organism. The discussion focusses on Daniel’s notion of empowerment which reflects the idea that organisms use their actions to optimize “relevant” information. Daniel describes how this approach is investigated and has given rise to novel algorithms for control. From here Daniel and Paul look at the generalization of these concepts.
