Such intersubjectivity recursively bottoms out in the lone subject who
receives "data" through a provenance chain involving other "observers" some
of whom are "which":  measurement instruments.

This is why I'm so insistent that the AIT folks get on with formalizing
forensic epistemology -- including, ultimately -- game theory.  This can
start with something as simple as an agent self-diagnosing a faulty
measurement instrument that delivers observations -- knowledge in the sense
you mean.

Until this happens, I'm afraid all of the efforts at "ethics" in AGI are
ill founded.
