Loosely related to this, it would be nice to know if systems which reliably don’t turn down ‘free money’ must necessarily have almost-magical levels of internal coordination or centralization. If the only things which can’t (be tricked into) turn(ing) down free money when the next T seconds of trade offers are known are Matrioshka brains at most T light-seconds wide, does that tell us anything useful about the limits of that facet of dominance as a measure of agency?
