Ok, it seems we have lost a concept here, that of metaprogramming. In

When you think of AGI that needs to optimize itself for its platform and
continually adapt to its environment, it should quickly become apparent
that we are not looking for an AGI program per se, but a program that
generates and continually tunes and updates the AGI program.
I then recommend reading J.Pitrat's blog, still on line
http://bootstrappingartificialintelligence.fr/WordPress3/
(describing his CAIA system, GPLv3+ source code on
https://github.com/bstarynk/caia-pitrat ...)
and hist last book /Artificial Beings. The conscience of a conscious
machine/ <http://www.iste.co.uk/index.php?p=a&ACTION=View&id=257>. ISTE
and Wiley. 2009. ISBN 978-1-84821-101-8
(I happen to have the PDF of that book on my hard disk; please ask me)
J.Pitrat (born in 1934) was the first AI researcher in France, and
passed away in october 2019.
