Limited Resources

A physical agent cannot possess infinite resources. There are bounds on memory and processing capabilities. The limited computation resources available to the agent directly influence the types of processing it can afford to do. Given these limitations it may not always be possible to guarantee perfect rationality. However, it is desirable that the agent perform as well as capable, obeying some bounded rationality constraints.


The following architectures have developed methods for countering these resource limitations:
