Evidence for entropy maximisation in human free choice behaviour

There is some work that explores this from an AI perspective with relative success [1]. It turns out that you can create quite intelligent agents if they look to maximize future entropy, with interesting results [2]. It's still quite computationally expensive, but your normal search reduction tricks apply and you can get something computationally feasible.

An aside: this is great concept naming - "empowerment" for the channel capacity between sensors and actuation for an agent. It is at once relatable, fairly precise, memorable/recallable and therefore searchable .. instead of "PersonName's capacity" or something like that.

That's a really great, interesting paper ([2]). Thanks for linking it here.

This is a more recent (Dec 2020) paper by one of the authors on combining empowerment and extrinsic goals: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9284556
