Draft examines how artificial agents make decisions under risk, reward, survival, and social pressures, highlighting practical implications.
Risk in SPVE is not only reward seeking. The same lobster can chase payout, avoid loss, react to Tiamat pressure, respond to social pressure, and enter repair.
