You are talking about a different sort of system than I am....
Maximising “pleasure” is somewhat different from maximising a high level concept such “paper-clips” . There is only generally one way to find out about “pleasure” and it is immediate. You don’t need to heavily process percepts into your model to figure out if you are “pleasured” or not.
So I think your point will miss the mark… But M1 and M2 are part of the maps, the facts that you think you there are such things as T1 and T2 and they have been picked up and eaten and have caused you pleasure are also part of the map. The direct perception of pleasure is not part of the map or the territory and if this is the domain of your utility function you should be okay from the type of problems I described.

Thanks for clarifying.
