📖 Description

*Note: this is a new version -- with a new title -- of my recent post "A Behavioral Definition of Goal-Directedness". Most of the formulas are the same, except for the triviality one that deals better with what I wanted; the point of this rewrite is to present the ideas in a perspective that makes sense. I'm not proposing a definition of goal-directedness, but just sufficient statistics on the complete behavior that make a behavioral study of goal-directedness more human-legible.*
