Neat. It seems like one could think of the agent as surveying mathematical objects (sets of theorems of the form "agent()==A implies world()==U") and then forcing itself to be in a particular mathematical object (that which contains a particular true statement "agent()==A implies world()==U"). If we're thinking in terms of an ensemble the agent would already be in a particular mathematical object, so perhaps it's procedure could be thought of as forcing itself into a particular mathematical sub-structure.
When I think about this stuff I get the feeling I'm confused on many levels.
