I don ’t think this is straightforward in practice—and putting a cartesian boundary in place is avoiding exactly the key problem. Any feature of the world used as the item to minimize/maximize is measured, and uncorruptable measurement systems seems like a non-trivial problem. For instance, how do I get my GAI to maximize blue in an area instead of maximizing the blue input into their sensor when pointed at that area? We need to essentially solve value loading and understand a bunch of embedded agent issues to really talk about this.
