Having worked on problems roughly described as multivariate optimization
decision support, I'm thinking, a high dimensional Pareto Frontier with
modified Dempster-Shaffer methods implementing Fuzzy Belief and
Plausability measures. It maps well onto consciousness as
wave-function collapse (for Quantum Consciousness Wonks) or at least
(for CS majors) late binding. For English Majors, I refer you back to
Douglas Adams who describes all of this in very good, imagistic prose.

To select with regard to multiple fitnesses, it is necessary to have
rank orderings for each and to retain the union of some fraction of
the top performing ones. That means more resources, having more
special snowflakes *and* more *kinds* of special snowflakes. But
usually we just get frustrated and get some lunatic to create a giant
extinction event and call it good.
