@vgr@vgr Let this 2x2 be defined as a conservative vector field... your path is one, and the reader's path makes 2http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2014/12/11/striving-surviving-suffering-and-slacking/ … - 1 more reply

Either way, you're screwed. But if you decide to recognize it now, you can trade some future external effort for some present mental trauma

...hmm wonder if this is well-posed enough to use as a path constraint to solve a reverse optimization problem to yield fitness fn of 'life'

@vgr picking the hardest next step will get you stuck in local maxima. Must randomly take it easy periodically -
@ngkabra taking random steps included in definition of 'hard' in my sense. Gotta model agent mental state, subjective hardness. Not just ext - 1 more reply
