In the first mention, game theoretical interaction with an idealized agent with consistent goals extracted from the creation of a best-fit to the behavior of either human evolution or evolution more generally. It’s wild speculation, not a best guess, but yeah, I naively intuit that I can imagine it vaguely as a possibility. OTOH, I don’t trust such intuitions and I’m quite clearly aware of the difficulties that genetic, and I think also memetic evolution face with playing games due to the inability to anticipate and to respond to information, so its probably a silly idea.
The latter speculation, trade between possible entities, seems much more likely.
Evolution is the game in this context, our conscious minds are players, and the results of the games determine “evolutionary success,” which is to say which minds end up playing the next round.
Er… did I read that right? Game-theoretic interaction with evolution?

Assuming I’ve read this correctly of course.
