The sandwich approach to feedback is well-intended, but often causes exactly the result it is meant to avoid--defensiveness. It begins and ends with a compliments that is meant to disguise the main purpose of the feedback and control the recipient's response. The recipient is aware of the disguise, but cannot confront it because doing so violates social norms. The feedback is evaluative and general, often due to lack of first-hand information, which prevents the recipient from understanding the source of the feedback or knowing exactly what is needed to address a performance gap.

How to transfer a environment value into an agent via acting and learning without loss. This is intuitively related to the Free Energy Principle -- where acting and perception are viewed as two sides of the same coin.

The desired behavior is for the agent to somehow perceive via action -- undoing in some way the loss of information in the environment it caused.

Surely sensing the environment directly is the easiest approach, but we avoid it to explore other possibilities where an agent needs to act optimally on an environment but in so doing changes it as well.
