Clutching Hand Trap: Difference between revisions

== [[Real Life]] ==

* AI programmers sometimes mention a program ending up in a "local optima" where it cannot reach a target state because all available choices would place it in a worse state. For instance, a program navigating a two-dimensional grid ends up behind an obstacle in the direct path to the target position and won't sidestep it, because it's programmed to move towards the target and either movement would just move it away from the target position.
