Most Effective Actions calculation

Specifying for every node whether it is observable and manipulable and enabling the Most Effective Actions calculation will all open the Most Effective Actions window

most_effective_actions_window

Pressing the Recalc (recalculate_icon) button or, better yet, pressing on the Autoupdate (autoupdate_icon) button, will calculate the value of observations and manipulations of those variables in the model that can be observed or manipulated.

most_effective_all_project

We can look only at those variables that are observable

most_effective_observations_project

or manipulable

most_effective_manipulations_project

It is important to remember that the value of information/manipulation does not have units. It is based on calculation of cross-entropy and just expresses the expected change in entropy of the model Focus variable. The most valuable in this calculation is the relative magnitude of the calculated values and their order.
