**Universal Agent Archetypes (UAA)**
All human systems involve Autonomous Agents (Players, Actors, Entities), both real (people) and fictitious (organizations).
Reflection, is the natural human ability to think and feel about how one
thinks and feels. Self-deception and self-awareness are the inversely
related internal manifestations of Reflection. Externally, one can
therefore also think and feel about how others think and feel (empathy,
projection, etc.). This ability becomes fully developed at around 12
years of age (normal). All human adults (Agents) can therefore be
classified by this intrinsically “bilateral” mechanism into 4 distinct
strategy Archetypes.

The utility function (goal) in this taxonomy can be defined by narrative
and by formal Mechanism Design Theory (MDT). Mutualist Utility Function
(narrative form): Optimum of total aggregate utility with a
simultaneously optimum of equality (parity) of individual utility.
Mutualist Utility Function (MDT 2 x 2 ordinal form): u=((xi +
yi) + \|xi – yi\|)/2 : where xi
= Agent R utility ordinal (Narcissistic) and yi = Agent
C utility ordinal (Narcissistic).
A complete analysis reveals that only a 100% homogeneous population of
Mutualists can consistently produce and sustain optimal social systems
as the natural outcome. All other populations can only produce unstable,
sub-optimal systems. Since fictitious Agents (States, corporations,
etc.) are analogs (legal fictions) of actual humans, their strategic
Agency is also fully defined by this same taxonomy.
Ideally, an optimal political system achieves the 4 goals intended for Quality of
Life. All Agents that aren’t true Mutualists would be required to consent to acting “as
if” they are Mutualists, in order to ensure efficient optimization. Ideally, human
systems allow only true Mutualists in control (Leadership) roles within
the 3 domains of Social Power, because their behavior would then naturally serve Justice over Power.
There are subconscious motivations as well as conscious motivations for human agents. It’s possible for any Archetype to eventually become a true Mutualists through the practice of
self-discipline. The 4 Archetypes, The Shadow, the 3 Impulses, and
Reflection constitute the internal framework (first order) that
determines systemic outcomes [What is internal is externalized, and
what is external is internalized].
