Adapting Policies to Uncertainty and Entropy

Stagnation arises when adherence to outdated policies leads to inefficacy due to unpredictable changes in the environment. Survival is jeopardized when policies no longer work, necessitating policy updates. Accepting uncertainty and change is essential to developing improved policies, despite the discomfort of realizing previous policies were ineffective. In facing uncertainty, there is a need to withstand short-term discomfort to create more effective strategies.

Prediction errors result in increasing entropy and unpredictability, leading to discomfort due to uncertainty. Adapting to uncertainty, even in complex situations requiring predictions, is crucial to navigating challenges effectively.
