MMP.8.SD:9 - Consequences

The reader obtains a model that explains why a present action is useful together with what can follow it. It can reveal that a resource should be retained, that a reading is worth obtaining only before a commitment, or that a changed target requires remembering different information.

The construction also locates missing contributions: an observation law, an action consequence, a criterion, a retained distinction or a computational procedure. A small bound may close the comparison before any large policy computation.

A sufficient state can greatly reduce repeated reasoning, but constructing it and solving the resulting problem can still be costly. More detailed modeling can worsen the work when it cannot change the receiving decision.
