When people are basic ontological entities for a decision theory, there is an option of setting up platonic worlds/environments for them and for interactions between their collections. This needs to add up to what happens in the physical world, but the intermediate constructions can run wild with many abstract/platonic/simulated worlds, for purposes of being valued by their preferences.
I didn’t get anything specific/nice this way, but it’s the way I’m thinking about boundaries, that agent’s viscera should be its own sovereign/private platonic world rather than something like a region of space that’s shared with other agents, or agent’s own internal details. And the physical world, or other worlds defined for interaction between agents, serve as boundaries between the agents, by virtue of reasoning about them and their viscera worlds in restricted ways that the boundary worlds as a whole precommit to respect.
