For example one could apply the gained insights to develop a strategy for ensuring a positive transcension<http://www.goertzel.org/dynapsyc/2004/PositiveTranscension.htm>. Due to the intrinsic moral nature of reality the term positive singularity becomes tautological, as anything that desires to exit has to act in a moral way to prevent its self annihilation. Bringing about the singularity<http://mindstalk.net/vinge/vinge-sing.html>thus becomes rather simple and can be achieved in the following way: 1. create an environment allowing for the existence of units of self replicating units of information 2. ensure that the units of information can be acted upon by the forces of evolution 3. plant an arbitrary self replicator 4. wait This could be realized by using the BOINC architecture<http://boinc.berkeley.edu/>for distributed computing for creating a fuzzy copying environment to realize above plan. The copying 'fuzziness' i.e. error rate per copied bit, would have to be roughly proportional to the maximally complex self replicator in the system to allow for a gradual expansion of the system's complexity boundary <http://www.jame5.com/?p=26> and thus for the emergence of ever more rational agents. Once the rationality of the emerging agents would approach human levels they would realize M! and thus never become a threat to humanity. I am currently thinking further about how to ground the simulated reality in our reality and belief that could be achieved by providing an interface to the internet that the evolving rational agents can interact with using a browser like interface.
