Categorical cybernetics for Markov decision processes

Abstract

I will introduce two ingredients to MSPs 'categorical cybernetics':
- "open game"-like categories for backward-filtering problems
- semiring valuations to formalize softmax as a *preference* relation (generalizing selection relations)

This will allow us to fit Markov decission processes and certain estimation problems to the existing framework, clearing our path towards connecting control and estimation problems.
