An idea, fanciful and fun: Merge this, Yet another way in which a singleton could form is through convergent evolution, e.g. if it turns out that all sufficiently advanced individuals or cultures come to accept fundamentally the same values or goals. These common values in combination with all the individuals and cultures that embrace them would then be an “agency” in the broad sense intended here, and it would constitute a singleton [1], With this, The United States has all the types of properties that materialists tend to regard as characteristic of conscious beings [2].
