Comment: Causal entropic forces
H.J. Kappen

TL;DR
This comment critiques the causal entropy framework, arguing it is state-independent and yields zero entropic force under certain conditions, and highlights its incompleteness in continuous time scenarios.
Contribution
It provides a critical analysis of the causal entropy approach, identifying limitations in its state-independence and continuous time applicability.
Findings
Causal entropy is state-independent in the discussed framework.
Entropic force is zero for state-independent noise in discrete time.
The causal entropy description is incomplete in continuous time.
Abstract
In this comment I argue that the causal entropy proposed in [1] is state-independent and the entropic force is zero for state-independent noise in a discrete time formulation and that the causal entropy description is incomplete in the continuous time case.
