I remember from my sociology classes that there is something like that defined. Survival is highest on that list, below that comes finding food and shelter and so on. I can probably find the exact list if somebody is interested. Commands that work toward higher level goals should override commands that you are executing that have a lower level. Drawing your sword should over- ride digging a hole as it has to do with survival, but eating bread in the middle of a fight is plain silly and that command should be ignored until the fight is over. In fact now I think about it, eating is really very low level in this respect and almost anything you do that requires some concen- tration is capable of making you forget you are hungry.
