I have decided to base WorldModel on Env after all and have step() sample from transition_distribution() by default. |

please ignore what's under rl/mdp/ for now and only look at world_model/ |

Second argument should be called options, it's probably not a great idea to change that. Not sure what exactly you're going for by changing this, but I don't think defining reset for the abstract MDP is necessary

OK, fixed the order. It is necessary though since the point is that an MDPEnv can reset to a particular state, which a generic Env cannot.

Redundant, plus might cause side-effects (what if an actual env takes arguments in the constructor?)

I'm never sure about these things. So you say derived classes can just leave out __init__? Assuming this is the message, I have now removed all empty __init__s from all these classes.

Please do, I'm a type-driven creature and it's pretty hard for me to read code without types

Maybe a different structure would be better - MDP is just an abc.ABC, doesn't necessarily inherit from Env. It should only contain the state method. Then it effectively functions as a trait/type class, i.e. when something inherits from MDP, it will only check that it contains state and that's it.

the point here is that an MDP can reset to a particular state, which a normal Env cannot. I have now split this into two classes, MDP with only state() and MDPEnv, which adds reset(..., state=...).

Thing to consider regarding the class hierarchy.
If it is the case that "most implementations" will combine this with a gym.Env, then WorldModel shouldn't inherit from Env.
If we want it to be required that every WorldModel "combines" this with gym.Env, then the current inheritance might make sense

I'll pull out the discussion regarding the As I understand, the idea is that you can set the environment to a certain state. It might be sorta doable via modifying the I see two ways we could do this:
