That is an example of a paperclip maximizer failing an ontological crises. It doesn’t seem to illustrate Shminux’s concept of an “ultraviolet catastrophe”, though.
I think that the concept of an ontological crises metaphorically similar to the ultraviolet catastrophe is confused, and I don’t expect to find a good example. I suspect that Shminux was thinking more of problems of inaccurate predictions from incomplete physics than utility functions that don’t translate correctly to new ontologies when he proposed it.

You are correct. Can you suggest an example that resolves that shortcoming?
