To your second point, very much yes. I am also working on a much bigger framework for world-modeling, still along the lines of Safeguarded AI TA1.1, which takes this notion of beliefs as a central ingredient in its semantics. The syntax is most of the work. By syntax/semantics I mean the same thing as sense/referent and intension/extension.
The purpose of the semantics is to ground judgments about observational equivalence about belief states, but when we are exploring the hypothesis space about infinite-dimensional as finite creatures, we need rich languages for expressing our beliefs with finite sequences of bits.
Richardson’s PDGs are in my opinion the best syntax published to date.
