Ben , You just made the most incredibly basic mistake – confusing a zillion 
programs with one program. Confusing specialist programs with a general program.

If you were “really, really” interested in AGI, you’d want to understand why....

Once again, since you don't know the technical meanings of the technical terms 
you use, your thoughts come across as a kind of surrealist word salad ;) 

Amusing, but not particularly worth engaging with at length ;p

  Oh jeez, Ben – they are compressible into DIFFERENT programs – a ZILLION 
different programs. Specialist programs, basically one per pattern. 

  In order to recognize all of them as “patterns” , they would all – all 
zillion patterns - have to be compressible into just ONE program, just one and 
the SAME program that could identify/generate every different example of a 
pattern. Including ones not yet invented. Not a zillion programs, just one.

  That’s not “easy” Ben, that’s the unsolved problem of AGI.  .You sure you’re 
really interested in it?

    Koch curve, Mandelbrot, herringbone, cellular automato

  are compressible into short (say, LISP) programs consisting of repeated 
iterations of simple equations.   That's a pretty obvious commonality among all 
of them... ;p
