On the Causal Structure of the Sensorimotor Loop

In recent years, the application of information theory to the field of embodied intelligence has turned out to be extremely fruitful. Here, several measures of information flow through the sensorimotor loop of an agent are of particular interest. There are mainly two ways to apply information theory to the sensorimotor setting.
