It looks to me like your AI lacks external reference semantics. For an
introduction, read:
http://www.intelligence.org/CFAI/design/structure/external.html
A well-designed RPOP does not try to maximize the satisfaction of its
goal system object; it tries to achieve certain world-states, and views
the goal system object as a tool used to measure the value of these
world-states. When you want to buy ten feet of cloth, shrinking your
ruler does not make it easier!
In the absence of external reference semantics, why wouldn't your AI
simply wirehead its goal system?
