Right. So for that to make sense, the things being judged are not the universe as a whole (or itself), but some sort of parts/aspects abstracted from it, objects of a different kind that are only relevant by somehow relating to it, perhaps “embedded” in it.
This is harder to set up as a guide to decision making, because consequences of actions or decisions are not as isolated from the rest of the universe, but I guess scoped consequentialism (goodhart/boundaries, mild optimization) would want to make some sense of this. Also, updateless decisions isolate abstractions of ignorance about current/future observations.
