BASELINE SURVEY

Scope

Bounded existential capacity: learned representations of action/outcome or stimulus/outcome relations causally guide present behaviour toward possible outcomes. Rat instrumental planning and inferred-value interventions; compare cached values, habitual policies and alternative state representations. No successor control, experience or programme-specific mechanism inferred. Classification and scope nominated before searching.

Uncertainty

The remaining uncertainty concerns which representations and computations particular assays identify, their causal location, and transfer across tasks, rather than whether the modest capacity exists.

History is append-only.
