Auditability Is Not One Property: Rule Overlap, Behavioural Agreement, and Composition in Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a protocol for auditing and composing reinforcement‑learning policies using discrete behavioral rules, defining auditability through six testable predicates such as trace integrity and rule coverage. Experiments show that overlapping rule sets do not guarantee behavioral agreement, and that rule‑based fusion often fails to outperform value‑based composition, highlighting limitations in current description layers. The authors provide an evidence‑bounded audit framework and outline future directions for more robust skill composition.

Objective-Behavior Alignment: Diagnostics for MORL Policy Selection

The paper introduces a diagnostic workflow for multi‑objective reinforcement learning (MORL) that reveals behavioral differences among policies on the Pareto front, which are not apparent from value vectors alone. It offers quantitative and visual tools to inspect these variations and demonstrates their effectiveness on both simple grid tasks and more complex continuous‑control benchmarks.
