The prescriptive theory recommends the optimal way how to do it. The natural sciences aim to acquire knowledge about the natural world: they describe the world. Seemingly, the prescriptive DM offers nothing to them. This contribution challenges this widely adopted opinion. The corner stones of this challenge are: • the knowledge acquisition is the DM action that has no direct influence on the world but affects those who acquire it (briefly agents), who aim to model the world in the best way; • prescriptive DM theories models the agent-world pair as a closed loop [1,2] affected by both and develops tools for tuning the closed loop optimally: its outcome include, for instance, - tools explaining outcomes of dynamic interactions in closed loops [3]: such loops are present everywhere, and it is desirable to predict their damped, stationary or explosive behaviors, - learning techniques complementing missing parts of the used models [4], and also exploration strategies, which include sequential stopping rules guiding experimentation with the world, - analysis of acting in hostile environments [5], - the choice of appropriate mathematical tools for describing uncertainty of any origin in knowledge- acquiring loop: the quantum modelling of macro-world [6,7] addressed at this conference is a hot and fruitful example of contemporary research in this respect. cav_un_auth*0491465 DYNALIFE 2025 : Conference on QUANTUM INFORMATION AND DECISION MAKING IN LIFE SCIENCES 20250428 20250429 Prague CZ BB 10000 10100 10101 2026 1 PR RVO:67985556 https://hdl.handle.net/11104/0371113 cav_un_auth*0322033 Česká zemědělská univerzita v Praze, Provozně ekonomická fakulta PEF CZU CZ S 2025 A2 SCOPUS PUBMED WOS cav_un_epca*0646239 DYNALIFE 2025 : Quantum Information and Decision Making in Life Sciences: Book of Abstracts Czech University of Life Sciences Prague 2025 Prague 26 26 Guy Tatiana Valentine 340 Pelikán Martin 340 Kárný Miroslav 340 Gaj Aleksej 340 Ružejnikov Jurij 340 Ruman Marko 340
