So far so good. I look forward to the hard stuff :) And thanks for engaging my request.
Actually, your calling second-level agreement "endorsement" has led me to wonder whether there's a special term for desires that you want to want, want to want to want, and so on ad infinitum, analogous to common knowledge or Hofstadter's hyperrational groups (where everyone knows that everyone knows etc. that everyone is rational).
Seems to be related to FAI. I'd look forward very much to any mathematic formalization of the term, if you have ideas how to get there.
