This is where we dwell on possible outcomes of actions we didn't actually take.
Langton's chapters operate synthetically, at a curious remove from the action, as if from a consciousness hovering above those of the figures in the story, whose movements and feelings and thoughts are tethered to more local contexts, to the purposes and outcomes of actions.
Given its links to working memory, O may also be important in evaluating the outcomes of actions.

They have been defined as the anticipated outcomes of actions and can be thought of as the pros (positive outcome expectations) and cons (negative outcome expectations) of engaging in a specific behavior [ 30].
It is not just in the assessment of the outcomes of actions, practices or institutions, and the determination of which alternatives will produce the best outcomes, that the Separate Spheres' problem arises.

Game theory may be used to explain, to predict, and to evaluate human behavior in contexts where the outcome of action depends on what several agents choose to do and where their choices depend on what others choose to do.
Recent work suggests a more general role for MPFC in predicting the outcome of actions and then evaluating those predictions.
By envisioning the outcome of actions before committing to them, a robot is able to reason about physical phenomena and can therefore prevent itself from ending up in unwanted situations.
