In the first mention, game theoretical interaction with an idealized agent with consistent goals extracted from the creation of a best-fit to the behavior of either human evolution or evolution more generally. It's wild speculation, not a best guess, but yeah, I naively intuit that I can imagine it vaguely as a possibility. OTOH, I don't trust such intuitions and I'm quite clearly aware of the difficulties that genetic, and I think also memetic evolution face with playing games due to the inability to anticipate and to respond to information, so its probably a silly idea.

The latter speculation, trade between possible entities, seems much more likely.
