Thermodynamically rational decision making under uncertainty

Abstract

An analytical characterization of thermodynamically rational agent behaviour is obtained for a simple, yet non--trivial example of a ``Maxwell's demon" operating with partial information. Our results provide the first fully transparent physical understanding of a decision problem under uncertainty.
