A pointer is sort of the ultimate in lossy compression. Just an index to the uncompressed data, like a legible compression library. Wireheading is a goodhearting problem, which is a lossy compression problem etc.
What do you mean by a goodhearting problem, & why is it a lossy compression problem? Are you using “goodhearting” to refer to Goodhart’s Law?
My impression is that you consider this obvious, when in fact I found this an insightful framing. So thanks.
