I think I may understand where the miscommunication occurred. When we talk about scaling up an AGI program we are - of course - referrring to improving on an AGI program that can work effectively with a very limited amount of referential knowledge so that it would be able to handle a much greater diversification of referential knowledge. You might say that is what scalability means. Jim Bromer
