Ah, understood. I think this is basically covered by talking about what the go bot knows at various points in time, a la this comment—it seems pretty sensible to me to talk about knowledge as a property of the actual computation rather than the algorithm as a whole. But from your response there it seems that you think that this sense isn’t really well-defined.
I’m not sure what you mean by “actual computation rather than the algorithm as a whole”. I thought that I was talking about the knowledge of the trained model which actually does the “computation” of which move to play, and you were talking about the knowledge of the algorithm as a whole (i.e. the trained model plus the optimising bot).
