📖 Description

**Outline**: After a short discussion on the relationship between wireheading and reward hacking, I show why checking the continuity of a sensor function could be useful to detect wireheading in the context of continuous RL. Then, I give an example that adopts the presented formalism. I conclude with some observations.
