Yeah, what I meant was that “goals” or “preferences” are often emphasized front and center, but here not so much, because it seems like you want to reframe that part under the banner of “intention”
A range of other other relevant concepts also build on causality:
It just felt a little odd to me that so much bubbled up from your decomposition except utility, but you only mention “goals” as this thing that “causes” behaviors without zeroing in on a particular formalism. So my guess was that vnm would be hiding behind this “intention” idea.
Preferences and goals are obviously very important. But I’m not sure they are inherently causal, which is why they don’t have their own bullet point on that list. We’ll go into more detail in subsequent posts
