Sorry for more Chapman-channeling, but this is exactly what his situated action<\/a> work was set out to disprove: planning doesn't work even in fully legible domains, because of computational complexity issues. I assume dead-reckoning is what AI people call planning (figuring out a set of actions to achieve a goal, ahead of actually performing any).<\/span><\/div><\/blockquote>
Let's say: "fully legible" \u2261 "perfectly playable domains" \u2261 "simulation"<\/div><\/blockquote>
Whether his arguments apply to planning as it exists in the real world is another matter.<\/div><\/blockquote>

For later: people are gravitating to a dead-reckoning model of intelligence by treating length of autonomous runs as a kpi. I think this is ill-posed. Perfectly playable domains allow dead-reckoning to substitute for situated orienting and maneuvering because simulation is 100% fidelity and tractable. Where that\u2019s not true it\u2019s the wrong mental model.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>","version":1,"media":[],"blyg":"0.3"}
