Action-Directed Information for Distributed Control and Agentic Interaction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 23, 2026 · UTC

Distributed intelligence concerns systems in which semi-autonomous components with local dynamics and partial observations coordinate through information exchange to maintain a shared function. This paper proposes an operational way to study such systems: measure information at the interface where a message changes a receiving action, then connect that measure to function by intervention and disturbance evaluation. We instantiate this proposal in DI-Walker, a two-dimensional four-limb embodied plant controlled by frozen Cross-Entropy-Method policies. We compare a controller using each limb's o
