Multiple realities experienced by A.s.a. H.

It is possible to give A.s.a. H. various different sorts of memory, various different similarity measures, different value measures, different learning algorithms, etc. Different "cognitive styles" if you like. (See, for example, my blogs of 5 Sept. 2011, 10 July 2014, 19 Dec. 2014, 7 Jan. 2015, and 13 April 2016.) Similarly, Alfred Schutz believed that humans make use of multiple models of reality, building upon Goeth's "little worlds" or "pedagogical provinces," William James' "sub-universes," and Kierkegaard's "leaping between worlds." (See Schutz's  On Multiple Realities, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Vol. 5, No. 4, June 1945, page 533.) Arguments for scientific pluralism again.
