the tv playing random channels is hinting at something about what humans do, but minimizing expectation is not what humans do

an agent which minimizes expectation would find random static even better than random channels

right but we have frames such that we pre-process static as “static” (regardless of pixel states) whereas we don’t process permutations of relations states between, say, batters and bases that way
