His invention is ethics, because that's what his field of work is.

 So it is a theory of everything, now?  Yesterday it was just a patent.
 
 In fact, it is content-free nonsense.
 
 I could give you a box-and-arrow diagram describing the entire universe 
 at the same superficial level of detail ... would that mean I was God?
 
 And would the USPTO then grant me a patent for System and Method for 
 Managing All of Creation?
 
 You do not show the slightest sign of understanding how to build an AGI 
 that behaves in a friendly way, or indeed in any other way.  There is 
 no mechanism in your patent.  All you have done is write some Articles 
 of Good Behavior that the AGI is supposed to keep on the back of its 
 bedroom door and commit to memory while it is growing up.

Yes - I consider the content of my patents as a TOE (restricted to the domain 
of emotionally-charged language)
as diagrammed at:

http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/fairhaven/Masterdiagram.html

Virtually every category of affective language (from Rogets Thesaurus) is 
represented

To the great advantage of all-inclusiveness...

John replies

Aristotle's Metaphysics is 2500 years out of date (unlike his ethics)
He thought the brain operated as a Radiator !!

I do incorporate his principles of Inductive Inference within the title of my 
patent

But philosophy is a shaky foundation, so I rather substitute the Science
of Behaviorism as my primary foundation as described at

http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/fairhaven/behaviorism.html

Through these instinctual principles of operant conditioning, it even
proves possible to extend and establish links to the physical realm (the neural 
organization of the brain)

see  http://www.forebrain.org 

Hope this helps

 It looks to me to be borrowed from Aristotle's ethics.  Back in my
 college
 days, I was trying to explain my project and the professor kept
 interrupting me to ask:  What does it do?  Tell me what it does.  I
 don't
 understand what your system does.  What he wanted was
 input-function-output.
 He didn't care about my fancy data structure or architecture goals, he
 just wanted to know what it DID.
