The basis for AGI should be machine consciousness. Probability, or not probability, is but one of the reasoning tools. Likewise, so are abstraction and deabstration. I think we are getting hung up on the small stuff.
To progress: Here is an overview of a suggested programmable architecture for machine consciousness. Comments and debate, using logic, or from all AI research-related knowledge domains are welcomed. Assumptions: 1) Consciousness flows from a single, consciousness-evolving platform. 2) The platform is Mobius ringed by a seamlessly-integrated abstraction containing the means for contextual classification. 3) The platform is Mobius ringed by a seamlessly-integrated deabstraction platform for N input. 4) Other, functional Mobius rings exist too. 5) The brain is given a problem to solve. It accesses the consciousness platform to trigger a solution context, like an invisible balloon of consciousness, which emerges from the seamllessly-integrated platformed consciousness assembly as an invisible form of reality. That consciousness could be translated into an emotional schema as part of the sensory system, thereafter contextually classified. The emerging consciousness process is generic and is never ending for as long as the energy exists to power the consciousness architecture and the brain. It's fully recursive, linear, alinear, yet open and closed-loop simultaneously. It is governed by a personalized, thematic hierarchy (could be a sum of applied learning, structure, and priorities of the entity's net essence). 6) When in a state of unconsciousness, the connection between the brain and the consciousness architecture is terminated. The balloon of emerging consciousness (frontal lobe) simply does not activate. One must imagine an architecture which is always on and seamlessly integrated in multi-dimensional modes. Each component of the overall architecture would be driven by its own array of parallel processors. There would exist superprocessor arrays to manage signalling, connectivity, routing, redundancy, and messaging of the consciousness architectural module.

AI programs do not seem capable of much reflection of their own thinking. This shows that there is a general lack of ability to form effective abstractions (that will then be subsequently useful) and this means that they are unable to think about things in a way that we seem to be able. Ancient philosophy suggests that these abstractions need to be discovered.
