DV: "Hell is other autonomous agents? Or could it be more one's

treat their fellows as autonomous in order for the collective
strategies to work. Perhaps they have evolved away that awareness
in the service of warding off predators more effectively. Is it
still there in some form, just beneath the surface, waiting for the
Emperor to exploit? Hmmm, there's a paper in there somewhere."
