Perhaps you refer to a cybernetic regulation paradigm? =alentino Braitenberg suggested to understand Al from a regulation =erspective: feedback loops to approach a target state (homeostatic =quilibrium). The behavior regulation can be described with payoffs =cross many sub-behaviors (which Minsky called agents and agencies). =henever you get a situation where the local cost functions lead to a =ash equilibrium that is incompatible with the global goals of the =rganism, you introduce a higher level regulation that imposes offsets =n the payoff matrices of the lower level agents. This leads to the =ormation of an internal governance hierarchy. I =hink that this was the core idea of Rodney Brooks' subsumption =rchitecture. (Eventually, Brooks' work did not pan out, he =tarted building Roombas and lawn movers and became an Al =essimist.)

For =xample, the physical pain, and hunger and thirst exist on the level of =eeds, and survival is a purpose, a kind of modeling abstraction, as are =ood and drink. Many of our purposes are outside of =he organism, such as relationship purposes, and social purposes. Even =ur aesthetic purposes (like Jeffrey enjoying an intellectual standoff =etween Bannon and Summers) are not really related to the =rganism.

By changing the regulation goals (which is always internal to our =ind) we change the payoff matrix. On May =, 2018, at 8:43 AM, jeffrey E.
