hm, ok if I understand it right, "god" would be posited if the agent does not
know the answer and also does not care about the answer at the moment. So it is
a way of prioritizing tasks or curiosity. So each question with unknown answer
would get a degree of importance and the least important/irrelevant ones would
have a stop sign that says "god". For example why did the big bang happen?
Suppose the AGI asks a question, the AGI's instructor could offer an explnation
involving God as the answer. (There is an AGI instructor in my conception of
AGIs). Now the answer is known. For other questions the AGI asks, the
instructor could inform that the answer is Unknown". When the AGI asks why did
the Big Bang happen, the instructor has two choicies. The behavior of the
system upon receiving known answers and unknown answers is up to the AGI
programmer or the AGI itself. The AGI programmer could say that unknown
answers get a degree of importance, and the AGI can pursue those questions
further in it's idle time, or use daydreaming to formulate hypotheses about the
answers. For known answers, there would be no further inquiry unless the belief
coherence component determines the answer is incompatible with the current
knowledge base, then that could spawn some belief revision processes...
