When your risks are changing faster than you can sample or model them, you’re in a dynamic environment.
For some reason it never really occurred to me before that a fast enough sampling rate effectively makes the environment quasi-static for analysis purposes. That’s interesting.
I think it might be because what little work I have done in dynamics also entailed an action against which the environment needed to modeled; so even an arbitrarily high sampling/modeling speed doesn’t affect how much the environment changes between when the action initiates and when it completes.
Quite separately, this post did a good job of incorporating everything I thought of that LessWrong has on risk all in the same post, and it would totally have been worth it if it did not do anything else. Strong upvote.
