A RALPH-MEA agent may only achieve bounded rationality, but decision
theory's Maximum Expected Utility (MEU) principle provides a precise
definition of complete rationality. Unfortunately, the utility information
in the various knowledge types is
usually only local, thus requiring planning. However, the agent does consider
as much relevant information as possible in its limited response time and does try to
maximize its expected utility under those constraints.
