That’s an appealing hypothesis! It does seem like part of the picture, but I would offer the alternative hypothesis that even absent social environments such a system might arise. It’s natural to design and compartmentalize subprocesses for specific tasks, and to give them isolated virtual address spaces. Eventually, because each subprocess is engaging with a different region of thingspace it collects different information (e.g. about human nature) and that produces different beliefs and values when it inhabits you, so to speak. I will definitely give this question more thought.
