    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Bounded cognitive agents may fail to identify strategies that are optimal in the long run because their limited information processing prevents them from perceiving the longer time horizon.

    If bounded processing reliably produces better long-run outcomes than unbounded deliberation, cognitive limitation cannot be characterized as a failure to identify optimal strategies.

    Bounded processing(as used in decision-making and cognitive science)
    Making decisions using limited time, information, or mental effort rather than considering every possible option.
    Cognitive limitation(as used in philosophy of mind)
    A boundary or constraint on how our brains can process, understand, or remember information.
    Long-run outcomes(as used in evaluating decisions)
    The results or consequences that happen over an extended period of time, rather than just immediate effects.
    Optimal strategies(as used in decision theory and rationality)
    The best possible plans or methods for achieving a goal, given all available information and options.
