It's an interesting thought, and might work with another character, but not quite how I'm playing this one.

The version of Bayesianism I'm using doesn't necessarily imply any particular set of values, merely what's most likely the best course to take to achieve whatever the values are. As it happens, taking the long view, whether your values are the ultimate-selfish "stay alive" or the ultimate-altruist "save humanity", a lot of the mid-term goals and actions are the same: learn more about how the world works, grab useful resources, make allies, and so on. For this character, I want to play up that he's not entirely sure what his ultimate values will turn out to be, if he's forced into a situation where he has to pick one or the other, but his usual rule-of-thumb to think things out quickly is personal preservation.
