Fun read Stephen, i loved this! It made me think of the elaboration likelihood model of persuasion (ELM). While not a perfect analogy, there's conceptual resonance.
You wrote, "perhaps belief engines are constrained by some underlying dynamics that translate across types of intelligence." The ELM is a theory that attempts to reveal those dynamics in human behavior in all its non-deterministic glory. What's interesting from an analytics perspective is that data and metrics are not always effective tools of persuasion.
