I think "real top level goal" is mine. What I mean by it is this:
JKC describes some formal system X, calling it a "fixed goal system" and
calling the formal definition of X the "top level goal" of X. He then
asserts that X has undesirable/stupid/infinite-looping/bricky behavior,
and proposes embedding it in some other system Y, such that Y decides
whether to continue running X or to get bored and do something else
instead. I refer to Y as the "real top level goal" of the compound
system/scenario Y(X).
It's possible that I've grossly misunderstood what JKC means by his
terms, in which case "real top level goal" refers only to the products
of my deranged imagination.
