See world2(). Also, the agent takes no parameters, it just knows the world program it's working with.
The only difference I can see between "an agent which knows the world program it's working with" and "agent('source of world')" is that the latter agent can be more general.
A prior distribution about possible states of the world, which is what you'd want to pass outside of toy-universe examples, is rather clearly part of the agent rather than a parameter.
Yes, in a sense. (Although technically, the agent could know facts about the world program that can't be algorithmically or before-timeout inferred just from the program, and ditto for agent's own program, but that's a fine point.)
