Another information theoretic principle with capabilities possibly similar to the ones in the paper is empowerment. It can for example also make poles swing up: http://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S0219525912500798 (sorry for not providing an open link, if you are willing to wait a day or so, I can get it for you, just mail me). Empowerment also depends on the possible futures of a state, but on top of that on control over these futures ( here is an open access paper on it http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0004018)
Thanks Robert for posting this, it is a very interesting paper. Also this came just when I was thinking about quitting my lurking on this list. Disclaimer: I work with the authors of the papers above. If you are interested here is some related work by other people (you guys all know Schmidthuber and Ben mentioned him so he is not in the list) I don't understand Friston, but it always sounds great. * Karl Friston (2012) A Free Energy Principle for Biological Systems Entropy, 14, 2100-2121; doi:10.3390/e14112100 Georg Martius, Ralf Der, Nihat Ay (2013) Information driven self-organization of complex robotic behaviors http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.7473 Susanne Still, David A.
