Hi How about simply calling it root? Even better just /. Read it as root but always write it out as /.
The message being: CogPrime is where real AI begins. Then if you make an agent which attains GI, you could name it ~. This also decouples the names from any language, so it addresses that person's concern with internationalization who suggested Nabu. And in the event that CogPrime becomes the defacto standard for creating AGI's and gains the status that E=mc2 has in popular culture, just imagine how much artistic freedom you will be giving to people. A '/' can be stylized in myriad ways. A word will never be able to compete with that. Maybe Slash will write some theme music for it? Also, if its a defacto standard, doesn't '/' make a lot of sense? Its the starting point... by definition.
