The primary consideration is "initial wiring," or, as I've been saying, "instinct." Start with worm instinct, get a full-potential worm. Start with monkey instinct, get a full-potential monkey. Start with human instinct, get a full-potential human. I say "full-potential" because with no enemies and in a limited-stimuli environment, virtual AI entities should develop extremely fast. Or maybe not. So, we gotta figure out what's instinctual for a worm... well, for any entity, there's survival (sustaining one's own life force or existence), then there are mechanisms to help with that. I also believe that there's no such thing as a "full-potential human." Given our incredible brains, humans have unlimited potential. That's just my opinion. You might agree. ;)
