2. Is thinking about actions just rephrasing the agent-environment question? It feels like the answer is no, because it isn’t as though being able to specify the relationship between the agent and the environment changes the need to compute the specific details of any particular action.
But it might be impossible to specify an action exactly without being able to specify the agent-environment relationship exactly. Could it be (or is it) stated implicitly?
Actions are not just Embedded Agency in a different guise. From the Full-Text Version it looks to me like what actions are and how to discover them is abstracted away, which makes sense in the context of that project.
It appears most relevant to problems associated with multi-level models.
