I think this is covered in my view of optimization via selection, where “direct solution” is the third option. Any one-shot optimizer is implicitly relying on an internal model completely for decision making, rather than iterating, as I explain there. I think that is compatible with the model here, but it needs to be extended slightly to cover what I was trying to say there.
