Ben, et al, I had a prospective high-level thought-way past some of the impasses here.
I think I can see generally how an intelligent machine might function, with some presently unbuildable boxes like a "self-organizing potential-reality filter". I think I could diagram (probably with lots of bugs to chase out later) how these boxes might potentially fit together, that on first glance would look a bit like the architectural diagram of a complex CPU. I suspect/presume that you may have already drawn such architectural diagrams in your continuing quest to make OpenCog intelligent, as you would seem to need SOME sort of high-level architecture in mind to ever hope to develop such a thing. If such a diagram exists, could you please post it? I suspect that a "competition" of architectures might bear some fruit. For one thing, I suspect that the connections between boxes would have to be of the "equation balancing" type that I have discussed, for such things work together. Alternatively, perhaps you have already found prospective ways past such apparent impediments? At minimum, this should clarify the "grand challenges" in mathematics, wet-lab science, etc., that must be met before an AGI can be built, short of "simply" copying-without-understanding brains (which neither of us think is even possible).
