Perhap= you refer to a cybernetic regulation paradigm? Valentino Braitenberg sugg=sted to understand Al from a regulation perspective: feedback loops to app=oach a target state (homeostatic equilibrium). The behavior regulation can=be described with payoffs across many sub-behaviors (which Minsky called a=ents and agencies). Whenever you get a situation where the local cost func=ions lead to a Nash equilibrium that is incompatible with the global goals=of the organism, you introduce a higher level regulation that imposes offs=ts on the payoff matrices of the lower level agents. This leads to the for=ation of an internal governance hierarchy. I think that this was=the core idea of Rodney Brooks' subsumption architecture. (Eventua=ly, Brooks' work did not pan out, he started building Roombas and =awn movers and became an Al pessimist.)

On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 8:06 PM Joscha Bach rote: I think that the whole game=is internal. All our pleasure and pain are caused by satisfying or frustra=ing our needs, which are (roughly speaking) implemented in our reptilian b=ain. Our neocortex is modeling these needs as purposes, so we can regulate=our behavior for satisfying our needs. For example, the=physical pain, and hunger and thirst exist on the level of needs, and surv=val is a purpose, a kind of modeling abstraction, as are food and drink.4=iv> Many of our purposes are outside of the organism, such as relation=hip purposes, and social purposes. Even our aesthetic purposes (like Jeffr=y enjoying an intellectual standoff between Bannon and Summers) are not re=lIy related to the organism. While the needs are =omewhat hardcoded, our reaction to them is not (we can modulate pain and p=easure experiences, we can route our regulation around satisfying our need=, and we can repurpose our needs for competence, dominance, affiliation, a=d aesthetics for almost arbitrary goals. By changing the regulation goals =which is always internal to our mind) we change the payoff matrix.
