Categorical Internalisation of Environmental Groupoids for Generalisable POMDP Solving· 环境群胚的范畴内部化解决通用POMDP
This paper advocates category theory as a practical framework for structuring and improving rein- forcement learning in high-dimensional, partially observable environments. We model symmetries between environmental states by partitioning the state space into equivalence classes induced by sym- metry orbits, and organise each such class as a groupoid with a designated canonical representative. This allows the agent to share what it learns across many similar environmental states simultaneously, rather than treating every orientation or position as an entirely new problem. Learning is thus carried out on a symmetry-reduced state space with each orbit represented once, preserving structure while eliminating redundancy and improving sample efficiency. We implement this framework within standar
