Anastasios, I do have a very specific answer to one of your questions. The breakthrough is the action functional that powers emergent inference, the non-negotiable module is the entropy processor. Benchmarking would relatively easy. It would consist of solving various problems of the kind "easy for man, difficult for machine" (the GUAPs), under the conditions that the exact same AGI machine is used for all problems, and the solutions agree with man's solutions. There is no major concern about AGI systems consisting of man-made programs specific to the problems at hand, because these are GUAPs and there are no programs for them anyway.
I would start with object-oriented A&D and refactoring, which is the easiest because all the information is readily available. Then parallel programming, which ia also easy. Then image recognition. Then something about semantics, perhaps the semantic web. Why do you ask?

Well folks, last time I took a mid-level look at your designs, asking for your non-negotiables, the results were unimpressive. As our ability to do benchmarking, incremental progress, milestoning etc remains limited, I would like to ask again for your eagle's eye view: 1) which breakthrough/milestone you think is/are needed on your way to AGI 2) which module(s)/subsystem you are certain will make it all the way to AGI 1.0, so which current theory/tech is essential to your vision I would like to cop out of 2) with "logic", i just don't see AGI 1.0 arriving without some explicit Aristotle or Prolog inside it, it is the computational shortcut to end all shortcuts. Less powerful but more general, some probabilistic system will be there too, possibly multiple ones including fuzzy logic. I'd also wager a bayesian element is de rigeur. I am not trying at all to be exhaustive here, just giving actual examples. 1) is the more critical and open ended, I sincerely think that the "correct" agent-like distributed architecture is disruptive enough to be called a breakthrough towards AGI, but I am not sure at all I know, or anyone knows, how to avoid the curse of dimensionality, the curse of productivity, the curse of contradiction and the curse of non-terminability. AGI could be cursed, folks!
