Being an ethicist, I would of course stay away from good/evil and
instead think of triplets with incompatible moral systems. Alice
is doing Aristotelean virtue ethics, Betty is a Kantian
deontologist, and Carla is a Consequentialist. Sometimes they
agree ("Stealing is wrong!") but disagree on why ("Breaks a
principle!" "Reduces utility!" "It is not virtuous!"). Often they
disagree ("Of course the doctor should sacrifice the patient to
get the organs! That will help several people." "Of course not!
Nobody would go to hospitals if that was a risk!" "Is the doctor
*skilled*?"). <br>
<br>
But I love the idea of different evaluations. Thanks Spike for the
simulations!<br>

Giving yourself a 0 might correspond to a state of humility. Hmm,
there ought to be 12 basic cases: Carla can decide on 3
possibilities for herself, given that 2 for Betty, Betty has 2
options for chooing her own state, and that fixes Alice. So
3*2*2=12 cases. But we can flip good and evil and expect the same
behavior, so there are 6 core behaviors. Which ones have we not
seen?<br>
