If you are interested in entropy maximization over future histories and AGI to define an optimal scientist, you will probably be interested in this paper: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-24412-4_28 and the pdf can be found here: http://www.agroparistech.fr/mmip/maths/laurent_orseau/papers/orseau-ALT-2011-knowledge-seeking.pdf
