Clear thinkers who can communicate cheaply are automatically collectively a singleton with a very complex utility function. No-one generally has to attempt to agree with other agents about ethics, they only have to take actions that take into account the conditional behaviors of others.
Yes, I think others are missing your point here. The bits about being clear thinkers and communicating cheaply are important. It allows them to take each other's conditional behavior into account, thus acting as a single decision-making system.
But I'm not sure how useful it is to call them a singleton, as opposed to reserving that word for something more obvious to draw a circle around, like an AI or world hegemony.
