Conjecture

A base's standing rules are amortised habits: fine while the world is stationary, so each needs a trigger that sends it back to deliberation.

The claim

A base's standing rules (gates, the tier grammar, reading lists) are amortised habits in the active inference sense, and inherit their limit. Mazzaglia and co-authors (2022) say a habit policy can be optimal when the environment's uncertainty is stationary, but "can be insufficient" where rare and unexpected events are common, which is why planning is kept alongside habits. So each rule needs a trigger that sends it back to deliberate planning on a material change, rather than running until someone notices.

    This optimization scheme leads to an habit policy that can achieve optimal behavior, when the sources of uncertainty of the environment are stationary; however, habitual learning can be insufficient in realistic scenarios, where rare and unexpected events are common

    T=3 L=60 above=A base that reads to support its tiers is a 'crooked scientist'; unless information gain is weighted against preference, it confirms rather than tests. below=none (last placed in tier) | My mapping of their habit/plan distinction onto our rules; the kernel says the same from alignment, this gives it a mechanism.
