Entities that have "observer-centered divergent goal systems"
are simply individuals. If there is a group of minds that
are not individuals separately, then the group itself makes
up the individual. If there is no individual at all, then
I question the application of the word "mind", preferring to
substitute "processor" or something.
Any interaction between individuals will be an economic one,
and so far, markets seem to be the optimal economic mode of
interaction.
It may be that you're suggesting that there will only be
one individual after the advent of SI. I hope not, but
we'll see.
