Thanks PM! The axiom is that an embedded intelligence, even one that can spend 9 hours in bed and 10 hours in a chair, needs (occasionally at least) a real time "instant" general intelligence apparatus, and I'd dare say even writing my reply is proof of that, I've instantly formulated a reply in my mind but it takes a while to type it out. It is quite a spanner in the works for mathematical definitions of intelligence where some scary big calculation happens in a "timeless space". Be advised that this is not even the outline of an architecture, I simply wanted to highlight the axiom. It is about AGI with performance "built in". A project worth pursuing if only to contrast the results with non real time approaches such as OpenCog (perhaps the latter is loosely real time). The evolutionary motto would be "survival of the fastest", I can certainly imagine this being the case not only in warfare but more importantly (!) in artificial life simulations. The Internet is an ALife battleground and being the first one to hack-and-patch (closing the security hole behind you so that the next agent will not be able to challenge you for ownership of a resource) is going to be a very real time affair.
I have not declared war on long term memory, but I am willing to compromise it and approximate it, not unlike http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_architecture I guess this is a explicit as I can get, StreamAI would look a lot like a huge FPGA with some self reconfiguration, or the simulation thereof.
