I think that what active inference is missing is the ability to model strategic interactions between different goals

The strategic‑interaction gap you highlight echoes David Kirsh’s pragmatic‑vs‑epistemic distinction (I’m collaborating with him): current scale‑free frameworks capture pragmatic, world‑altering moves, yet overlook epistemic actions—internal simulations and information‑seeking that update the agent’s belief state without changing the environment—exactly where those goal negotiations seem to unfold.
