I think this has applications in virtual fences. For example, if you want to restrict someone's behavior to a certain pattern.

Also, you can think of it as the subject (or subjects) programming the modeling agent: if the modeled mind is able to recognize it's being modeled, it's reasonable to consider the possibility that it can influence how those inferred scripts are created just by shaping its own behavior.

It can't be like an EEG, right? "Please be quiet and predictable while I model you, sir".

Of course, what humans think of predictability might not hold water. One could think he's behaving in a random way but in reality following well-known patterns (unknown to him).

It's an interesting problem. Absolutely terrifying stuff.
