I can imagine that if you design an agent by starting off with a reinforcement learner, and then bolting some model-based planning stuff on the side, then the model will necessarily need to tag one of its objects as "self". Otherwise the reinforcement part would have trouble telling the model-based part what it's supposed to be optimizing for.
Thanks, that's what I was trying to say.
All the content in the post just fell in place after I read Giles summary. Still a great post, though.
