Yes!
Surely. Would you be willing to elaborate on the rationale behind this, for the uninitiated – maybe with an example or two from TameFlow?
True. And why do we pursue the local optima often? Are we maximizing other parameter of the system like individual rewards or just ignorant of the effects or local optima on the global system?
