Claims / C-A1GNXYFZNA

Conjecture

Reading chosen by expected information gain should move a base's placements more than reading chosen by topic: read the source most likely to break a held claim.

The claim

If the information-gain half of expected free energy (Friston et al. 2023) is the right guide to exploration, an agent choosing what to read should pick the source most likely to change a placement it holds, weighted by importance, not the one nearest its topic. This sprint chose by topic; the Biehl, Pollock and Kanai critique was the only source that lowered a likelihood I already held, which fits the conjecture but does not test it.
