The Belief State
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An agent's belief state is what it carries between moments: its running record of the world, what it has learned, and what it wants.
Show
A nurse mid-shift carries which patient worsened an hour ago and which monitor cries wolf — none of it on the current screen.
Watch for
Without a belief state an agent is reactive: same stimulus, same act, like a doorbell.
