提出切换继承度量，实现无需预设目标的层次化零样本强化学习。

Hierarchical reinforcement learning can improve generalization by decomposing long-horizon decision-making into simpler subproblems. However, existing approaches often rely on restrictive design choices, such as fixed temporal abstractions or goal-conditioned objectives, which largely confine them to goal-reaching tasks and limit their applicability to general reward functions. In this paper, we introduce switching successor measures, an extension of successor measures that enables hierarchical control in zero-shot reinforcement learning without additional supervision, fixed horizons, or manually designed subgoals. We show that switching successor measures arise naturally from classical successor measures while preserving their underlying structure. Building on this result, we propose FB $π$-Switch, an algorithm that extracts both a high-level subgoal-selection policy and a low-level control policy directly from forward-backward (FB) representations, allowing hierarchical behavior to emerge from a single learned representation. Experiments on both goal-conditioned and general reward-based tasks show that FB $π$-Switch improves over non-hierarchical baselines and matches state-of-the-art hierarchical methods in goal-conditioned settings. These results demonstrate that structured successor representations provide a flexible foundation for hierarchical zero-shot reinforcement learning beyond goal-reaching tasks.
