Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Foresight Rather than Hindsight? Future State Maximization As a Computational Interpretation of Heinz von Foerster’s Ethical Imperative” by Hannes Hornischer, Simon Plakolb, Georg Jäger & Manfred Füllsack. We formulate a critique of the Future State Maximization (FSX) umbrella term and its connection to von Foerster’s Ethical Imperative by considering the relationship between Empowerment and other principles that the target article relates under the same heading. We furthermore draw on the wide body of existing Empowerment research to substantiate but also contradict some of the claims made.
