RL is all about decisions: delivering the right decisions or at least learning from them. Imagine you have a simulated environment, like the stock market for example. What happens if you impose this or that regulation does it have a positive or negative effect? The whole point is being able to change course if something negative happen, so called _negative reinforcement_ or if it's a positive outcome, to keep building on that, so called _positive reinforcement_.
