A special issue of the Open Source online journal Progress in Complexity, Information, and Design (PCID) containing eight essays outlining non-reductive theories of the mind.
Consideration, it would have to incorporate a physicalistic account of mental representation and of an agents interests. Perhaps such an account of mental representation could be provided in causal or teleofunctional terms and perhaps such an account of an agents interests could be provided in terms of evolutionary adaptation.

It would be more efficient for agents to have low W if possible, to only spend energy on the states that it has to fight for.

The second naive idea then was let the agent that is being obeyed decrease

Some scenarios that would otherwise seem to have been foreclosed by our current scientific understanding again become real possibilities if we inhabit a Matrix.
