Do you mean something like future-concerned drives versus myopic drives? (E.g., “don’t eat this much, because it’ll likely make you feel bad tomorrow” vs “eat this, it’s so yummy / feels so good”.)
To me, what you’re describing seems consistent with the model that Seth and I lean towards.
Maybe one thing that makes it seem like there’s a lot of “coherent intentional background computation” is the global workspace decision making that is responding to inputs from lots of drives?
(I’m interested in continuing this thread, but feel free to drop it.)
