I‘m not assuming that they incentivize anything. They just do! Here’s the proof sketch (for the full proof, you’d subtract a constant vector from each set, but not relevant for the intuition).
&You’re playing a tad fast and loose with your involution argument. Unlike the average-optimal case, you can’t just map one set of states to another for all-discount-rates reasoning.
Thanks for the figure. I’m afraid I didn’t understand it. (I assume this is a gridworld environment; what does “standing near intact vase” mean? Can the robot stand in the same cell as the intact vase?)

I don’t follow (To be clear, I was not trying to apply any theorem from the paper via that involution). But does this mean you are NOT making that claim (“most agents will not immediately break the vase”) in the limit of the discount rate going to 1? My understanding is that the main claim in the abstract of the paper is meant to assume that setting, based on the following sentence from the paper:
Proposition 6.5 and proposition 6.9 are powerful because they apply to all γ∈[0,1], but they can only be applied given hard-to-satisfy environmental symmetries.
