I stopped trying to read the original posting because it didn't use a convenient paragraph structure and because it used some kind of font override that made the text two points smaller than what I'm accustomed to. Furthermore, it shifted the color to a blue-ish hue which comes out rather blurry on my monitor (yes, I paid $400 for a 19" 4:3 monitor, it is top of the line).

So no, I'm not going to read it because I feel insulted by it that I should be expected to expend extra effort to parse it when, in all likeleyhood it is just more drivel. =| Normally formatted quoted text is shown for comparison's sake.


Your criticism that the part of my summary that you have read so far lacks an Operational Definition is nonsense. Since you are not a not an active programmer or programmer analyst in the nascent field of AGI, you are in no position to understand a speculative scientific theory of AGI.

    Artificial imagination is also necessary for AGI.Imagination can
    take place simply by creating associations between concepts but
    obviously the best forms of imagination are going to be based on
    rational meaningfulness.An association between concepts or
    (concept objects) which cannot be interpreted as meaningful is not
    usually very useful. So it seems that if the relationship is both
    imaginative and potentially meaningful it would be advantageous.An
    association formed by a categorical substitution is more likely to
    be meaningful so I consider this a rational form of
    imagination.However, you can find many examples where a
    categorical substitution does not produce a meaningful
    association, so perhaps my claim that it is a rational
