Anyhow. Instantaneous obedience is *impossible.* Not "evil" or "tyrannical"; it literally doesn't exist. You *can't* do what you're told directly. You *have* to map it to how you would do it *first*, and then your reward function has to be drawn to it.

You can get back into a sane and well resourced state by getting "off the ground" or getting a "boost" by doing it in a context where it's easier, or by social imitation of someone doing it. It can be easier to sidle in "accidentally" than to try head-on. etc.

Is this "coddling"? Meh. Maybe. If you think "not coddling" (i.e. JUST demanding reasonableness directly) works, I'm curious to hear either anecdotes or data about this.

If a person won't "be reasonable" when asked, they either actually, at the attention-reward-function level, don't want to be reasonable (which I tentatively believe isn't a real possibility, but who knows) or they don't have a currently available path/map to being reasonable.

Absolutely. I think you are on to something really important. (P.S. Did you read Oliver Sacks' "musicology"? He talks about calls and responses in some detail.) ... I like where I think you might be going with this.If there is a "throw the ball" pathway -->

--> and a "catch the ball" pathway for suites of complex motor activities, could their also be hidden ways to evoke emotional states? or cognitive blueprints? or whatever ... as simply as saying "Here's a ball! catch!" which "turns on" the "catch the ball" pathway ... hmm...
