goals are made of small steps, which are collected from experience, goals are made from the sequential execution of simple functions observation, and instinct, and cobbled together either in imagination or real trial, to reach. which are themselves sequentially written out of hardcoded functions and each other, and selected and ordered based on what has passed simulated tests, has produced the goal in the past, or is copied from existing data or is measured to produce the goal elsewhere an important goal may likely be that of producing steps that successfully mimic recorded processes, and identifying goals that
