It feels to me like a second-order mechanism. We normally cast the purpose of lying as deception. But here I think that’s not it. The intended purpose for the lie is only achieved when the lie is understood to be a lie by all involved. Yet the form of lying is retained. What’s the model of human “comprehension” and motivation in which the fine structure of this would have been correctly predicted from our picture of how things work?
a ritual of submission? loyalists signal compliance while adversaries are cornered toward being shrill or in broken compliance.
semiotic sovereignty? who gets to decide what "means".in the metagame, lying is a demonstration of dominance not misdirection? A gaming of active inference?
