Add Definition for Success #44

Open SeverTopan opened 6 years ago

SeverTopan commented 6 years ago

Success is a function parameterized on Observations, that an Agent uses to measure how well its performing in its Environment. An Agent doesn't necessarily have to measure success.

I suggest that concept of Success will fall out of a definition of Value.

Thats a good idea, I'm ok to icebox this for the time being. What I'm trying to get at here is the distinction between a Rational Agent and an Irrational one (as per https://github.com/Vulcan-Academy/Vulcan-Academy.github.io/issues/28#issuecomment-348704552).
