Good point, I oversimplified here. I will consider this in more detail, but it naively, isn’t this irrelevant in terms of wireheading? Maintaining perceptions is maybe a bit trickier to do, but there would still be obvious shortcuts. Maybe if these perceptions couldn’t be simplified in any relevant way, then we’d need at least a full-on matrix and that would disqualify wireheading.
