Steve, My computers can run 4 threads at a time. So would make your comment totally irrelevant? Future processors will run 100 threads simultaneously. Of course an AGI program has to run different trains of 'thought' but it doesn't matter if they are run concurrently or if they are interspersed. The modern operating systems run numerous threads at once even if they cannot be run all at the same instant.
