A new research paper published on arXiv explores the impact of entropy measurement location on policy geometry in Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for continuous-control tasks. The study found that where entropy is measured significantly alters the learned policy geometry, affecting action distribution and mean conditioning. Experiments on an 80-muscle MyoLeg task and a 38-dimensional Dog-Stand replication demonstrated that measuring entropy on executed actions, rather than latent actions, leads to more centered means, though task return alone does not fully characterize this bounded-policy geometry.
