Hi Danko Tricky question. I think the a-linear properties of general intelligence have the potential to contradict NFL.
I don't see that as being a significant problem for the development of AGI. I've probably spent the last 22 years working in this space. As posited, NFL presents as a hard system. These days, architects recognize a hard system as a logical part of a holistic system, which includes a soft system as well. I think general intelligence emerges from thermo-dynamical entanglement of environmentally-specific combinations of adaptive, hardsoft systems. Perhaps, this notion could be proven via net, algorithmic X optimizations, which intentionally resulted in delta+ performance? Notwithstanding the notion of NFL+, the potential had to be inherent in the original design first. I'd contend it goes to root architecture. By such argument then; no hard contradiction would ultimately exist, but a relative value of GIGO probably would apply.

Do you guys agree that a contradiction exists? If so, is that a problem? Would that mean that no form of general intelligence could ever exist? Also, does anyone here undertake any explicit efforts to circumvent this contradiction? Thanks a lot.
