Bayesian Dynamic Programming
Bayesian Dynamic Programming (BDP) combines Bellman's dynamic programming framework with Bayesian inference to optimize sequential decisions when transition probabilities or reward structures are unknown. At each stage, the agent updates beliefs about the environment using observed outcomes, then computes an optimal policy that explicitly accounts for both immediate rewards and the value of information gained through exploration.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
