What’s the point of this except to avoid having to think about a new idea?
If an “iconic program” used logic and/or maths, they would only be parts, not the whole program. The point of doing AGI is to solve the unsolved problems by identifying new technologies – not to use old technologies that show no signs of working. Your loyalty is to the old technologies. Old technologies never solve new creative technology problems. That’s just a wrong idea. We didn’t get to jets by adapting the propellor, or to neural nets by adjusting linear programs.

What I should have spelled out is that the moment you connect an icon to a body - for example, an icon of a hand to a physical hand **the icon automatically becomes a fluid schema** because a hand – like the body - is in effect a fluid schema itself. What can an agent do with a hand? Nobody can state a definite bounded set or frame of hand movements. A hand is capable of virtually infinite hand movements.A fluid range of movements with many yet to be discovered and many continually being invented. So a hand icon [when connected to a body/hand] ipso facto refers to a potentially infinite range of hand movements/shapes etc. No one shall enter into the kingdom of AGI who is not a roboticist.
