Future State Maximisation and Hard-Wired Structures

Bernd Porr

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Foresight Rather than Hindsight? Future State Maximization As a Computational Interpretation of Heinz von Foerster’s Ethical Imperative” by Hannes Hornischer, Simon Plakolb, Georg Jäger & Manfred Füllsack. Abstract: Future state maximisation (FSX) offers a clear departure from both fixed reactive systems and systems that learn models based on reactive experience. In this commentary, I argue that FSX is not replacing these previous ideas but that, rather, the interplay with FSX and the older concepts create a powerful hybrid.
