Rate Distortion Control Theory (RDCT) provides a mathematical framework for modeling bounded rationality in economics (and other milieus) by formalizing how agents trade off decision accuracy against information-processing costs. This approach roots bounded rationality (Gershman 2015; Howes 2009; Kahneman 2003; Lewis 2014; Lieder 2019; Simon 1955; Simon 1972) in information theory, where agents act as ‘lossy information channels’ constrained by limited cognitive resources (Gershman 2020, Sims 2016; Sims 2018, Zaslavsky 2018). Viale (Viale 2020), in the context of individual mental function, places such ‘bounded rationality’ within a larger perspective that we find useful to adopt more generally:
…[M]ental disorder… differs from bounded ecological rationality because it [does] not allow… adaptive cognitive functions… [via] a rigidity and impermeability to the signals from the environment and the lack of a realistic representation of [those signals]… [Even healthy] individuals are characterized by limitations of logical rationality… that [nonetheless] allow them to successfully adapt to the environment to solve problems and to learn from their mistakes.
…[A] behavior can be defined as pathological… not because it deviates from normative standards, but because it is unable to successfully interact with the social and physical environment, in other words to have cognitive success. The irrationality of the mental disorder is such that it differs from bounded ecological rationality because it [does] not allow… adaptive cognitive functions…
…[A] limited and ecological rationality… builds on the ‘embodied’ dimension of cognition. Without this embodiment, limited individual rationality would not be ecological, in that it would not… interact successfully with the environment.
