Does that about get it right?

I think that's about right. Your next question might be, "How does this make a UDT agent different from any other?" I address that question in this reply to Wei Dai.

Thanks! Turns out I correctly guessed your answer to that question too! (I noticed the distinction between the programmer's goals and [what the agent regards as] the agent's goals, but hadn't mentioned that explicitly in my summary.)

Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me... I'll think about it some more.

Edit: Do you think it would be a good idea to put (a modified version of) my summary at the top of your article?
