What is bounded rationality?

  • A.Placing an upper bound on the utility an agent may obtain
  • B.Limiting the number of goals an agent may pursue at once
  • C.Acting as well as possible given limited time and computation
  • D.Restricting an agent's actions to a bounded region of space

Answer: C

Simon's insight was that real agents cannot compute the optimal action in the time available, so rationality must be defined relative to their resources rather than as perfect optimisation. Satisficing, choosing a good enough option, follows from it. Spatial bounds, utility caps and goal limits are unrelated. Redefining a normative standard so that it can actually be met is what made decision theory applicable to agents that must act in real time.
