An AI Planner is a compiler. It takes a problem that is defined according to a language and then it computes a solution (which could be a program) if one exists. I don't think that an algorithm or sub-program generator that I am talking about is the same kind of thing. And the purpose is different. For example, you might not need to explicitly write a the numerous algorithms that your agi program might need if this idea is feasible and realizable. There is one school of thought that believes that intelligent creatures are dependent on numerous specialized reaction algorithms. If this theory is right then the algorithm generator might be useful for explaining how the human being is able to specialize in areas in ways that other animals are not. (I am not suggesting that the human mind actually generates computer algorithms- that would be silly). Jim Bromer
