the reusable function boxes sounds like flow based programming and hardware programming in general. SPEL will definitely support it, as perhaps the main paradigm. As I see it only way to improve upon the performance of vanilla C/C++ is by going with OpenCl and HDL's. > > > > > > Are you saying that all AGI projects have to be theoretically defined in > > order to begin to be designed? > > > > I don't care if there are ad-hoc NNs doing the work, or matrix-implemented > ML doing the work, or just lots of ad hoc code.
