The instant it reports its sensor readings to the agent, they are already obsolete. The world has already moved on in its machinations.

If the world moves slowly compared to the speed at which the agent computes, this mismatch can be mostly ignored. But if computations are intensive, as with some vision applications, or compute power is limited, as with many mobile robots, then this delay can become considerable. In practical applications it can render modern algorithms infeasible.
