I disagree that there is a MPS or a LPS, that preferences are consistent over time, and also disagree that actual agent actions maximize over reachable state preferences. Even fairly simple real agents are much messier than that, and meta-agents a snarl of immense complexity beyond that.
It may be to some extent a decent first cut at simplifying things enough to start to explore the ideas and make (initially poor) predictions about how agents might behave, but not suitable as a shared foundation to build everything else on.
You disagree with MPS/LPS in what way? In that there are cyclical states or in that it is impossible to rate states against each other or something else?
Completely agree that preferences are not consistent over time but I’m not sure about the relevance of that here.
Agent actions definitely do not maximize over reachable state preferences. My only point there was that they make some attempt to improve states. If you disagree with that what would be an example? Totally agree with your point that it can get very messy.
