+For each action that the agent can take in the game space, need to program a motivator from the hierarchy of needs that would cause the agent to take that action
+
+
+
+Have a set of pre-scripted behavior trees for the ai to actualize each level of the hierarchy of needs
+Assuming the player doesn't abuse them (ie order the ai to place all its food outside of view while it's not hungry), this could work decently well on not triggering the uncanny valley
+
+
+
+Alternative approach is to have an "action chain generator"
+Gets a requirement from the needs heirarchy, then solves for an action tree that it needs to take to satisfy that need
+
+
+
+
+
+Osmosis cup example
+Lets say that you can absorb water via osmosis while holding a cup
+The first order motivator would be to pick up the cup to satisfy the thirst meter
+Why would the first agent to pick up the cup of water ever place it back down?
+
+Could evaluate other agent's view of the first one. If the first one thinks other agents will threaten it, drop the cup

+
+What motivations should I want to encourage with this game?
+
+ - Exploration, if the world is interesting, the player will be naturally curious and that could lead to the player interacting with characters to ask them about the world.
+   Functionally, when this is happening, the characters are largely question-and-answer chatbots.
+
+ - Creativity, the player will try to change aspects of the world to represent a creative vision.
+   This can manifest as building structures, clothing characters, etc
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+What player actions do we want the ai to be able to support?
+
+ - Learn about the world
+   Should be able to query for any piece of information in the game space
+
+ - Inform a character about the world
+
+ - Instruct a character to perform an action
+   Essentially we want the player to be able to instruct the ai to perform any action that the game space will allow
+
+ - Receive instructions from a character
