> theft as a means for attaining an object



Sounds like you haven't read your 17th century socialists who assure us the
ONLY way to attain an object is to steal it, think of the USA territory for
example lol. More generally, I am not sure what can be achieved by
speculating on the remarkable decision making system of animals, not just
ourselves, which must be as miraculously fine-tuned as anything else in
biology - and let's not forget that decisions are first of all biological
and anthropological, messing with the three effs and the particular way
your social group is stealing resources will cut your life very short. So
yes, decisions, goals, whatever, resemble Maslow's pyramid up to a point,
and in an artificial implementation I see no particular constraints beyond
survival and reproduction, so you could implement whatever works even
marginally. You could have very top level directives like Asimovs laws and
"never break the law, if you broke it accidentally turn yourself in", or
you could it the Spartan way "I am alone here in the countryside and need
to acquire either some fossil fuels or  at least a blanket from the nearby
summerhouses, if the chance I will get caught or shot is high I¨d rather
leave, if it is low maybe I should get fuel AND blankets AND any canned
food".

I have no doubt that an artificial intelligence engaged with a complex
internal and external world will find it hard to achieve anything
resembling balance, longevity, progress and sustainability. But I doubt
human decision making has anything to contribute, hormonal and haphazard as
it is. Not to mention that I find it a priority to work out how goals etc
are stored before we find how they are produced, if there is a granma cell
could it be that there is a "sex with hot young mammal" cell? Perhaps there
are no granmas but simply goals to find granmas, which "explains" why you
may end being adopted as a parent by a newborn duck or puppy.
