Under radical uncertainty, to be omnipresent in this century, maximization turns into extremization, which is very risky: it always gets us out on a limb, most likely in a wrong direction, and as a rule too far.

For any serious problem, LP does not "optimization" but "extremization": it gets us out on a limb and, as a rule, too far.

There is an extremization of a type of entropy with this condition.

The problem is equivalent to the extremization in classical mechanics and leads to the Euler-Lagrange equation.

I think that this einselection has some type of extremization to it where a cosmology is einselected so as to permit the maximum possible level of complexity in local regions.

So maybe the grand path integral for all possible quantum cosmological amplitudes self-decoheres by inflationary processes so that locally classical (like) structures come about by an extremization of possible local complexity.

By operating only at extremes, referred to in control theory as "bang-bang extremization," the proteins were exhibiting behavior consistent with a system managing itself optimally under evolution.

Optimal control theory explains a striking pattern of extremization in the redox potentials of electron transport proteins, assuming only that their fitness measure is a control objective functional with bounded controls.
