You are right, it is mystical, but keep in mind that in the universal machine theory,

With the precise definitions given, it is not speculative philosophical: it is computer
science, and rigorous definition. All the definitions I gave are the standard one used
in the field crossed.
That's the standard trick of theologians. They take something precisely defined in
science or mathematics and give it a name, like "intelligence" or "God", which carries
many different connotations which cannot be derived from the precise definitions, but the
theologian then pretends that the connotations are as firmly grounded and precise as the
definitions. I don't think you can show that G*\G entails intelligence in it's dictionary
meaning.
