DT requires a larger injection of perspective; preference as well as probability. Like thermodynamics, you can inject this subjectivity in the wrong place and imagine that nobody comprehends the motions in a spinning cylinder and that the rotation is all waste heat.
Possibly. My interest is in “how do formal systems relate to the world.”

The world doesn’t inherently have agents, goals, or decisions in it; those are concepts we apply to it. We can think about those in many different ways, which will have different consequences.

DT is one way of thinking about agents, goals, and decisions, which has particular consequences at the level of constraints, completely setting aside methods. Sometimes that’s a useful way of thinking; sometimes it isn’t.
