Researchers have introduced a novel framework for reinforcement learning by characterizing the occupancy measure as a 'visitation measure'. This new approach embeds the planning criterion into the dynamics, resulting in a dually flat statistical manifold. This geometric structure allows planning-as-inference to extend beyond linear rewards to nonlinear functionals, with each iteration solved via a natural-gradient step. The temporal-difference error is reinterpreted as a marginal-utility estimate, with implications for both reinforcement learning and theoretical neuroscience. AI
