+ | | | The minimal number of causal-relational models needed to represent the relations of the causal structure related to the goal(s). | | ||
+ | | | The number, length and type of mechanisms of causal chains that affect observable variables on a causal path to at least one goal. | | ||

| Connection to ERS | Difficulty is the bridge between **objective task description** (for observers) and **empirical performance measures** (for agents). ERS requires both views: tasks must be defined **in the world** (observer) but evaluated **through agent behavior**. | | | Connection to ERS | Difficulty is the bridge between **objective task description** (for observers) and **empirical performance measures** (for agents).

- | | Can you think of a task with low intricacy but high difficulty for humans? | ||
- | | What role does causality play in defining tasks? | ||
