Researchers have extended Frictive Policy Optimization (FPO) to handle dialogue scenarios with asymmetric partial information, a condition where participants have different information states and the same words can refer to different things. This new approach, termed perceptual asymmetry, builds upon FPO's original concept of treating dialogue friction as a signal for common ground rather than noise. Evaluations using the HCRC MapTask and LLM probes indicate that FPO's friction functional is most effective when assessed from each participant's individual perspective, highlighting that a single informed viewpoint can be more valuable than omniscient access to all information.
