Alice and i are fascinated by children's ability to infer causal relationships.

And in a physical system, if they see that something works, like four out of eight times, they think that there's something else that's keeping from working those other four times. They can make these kind of statistical inferences with very young kids. That might be really important for an agent who is trying to determine whether it's deterministic or not.
