The AGI is the same. Although it has some linear elements, most of it is non-linear and a correct AGI is the result of a particular generation of a specific combination of rules. A particular one labeled as “correct”.

But those linear elements are the equivalent of a human’s limbic system, the “reptile” system of the brain, or the senses an organism uses to receive information into the brain. It completely conditions everything that the organism can and cannot learn and experience.

For a human being, these elements are also the equivalent of the first years of life before consciousness solidifies and the “I” is formed.

As in the rule 30 example, the interaction of patterns creates meaning. (Yes, a specific meaning comes from specific pattern interactions)

You know, if you had grown up in another place, with another family, in other circumstances, your self would be completely different due to a completely different unconscious personal and cultural history. A different quanta of meaning.

Same with the AGI.

In Terminator, Skynet is an AGI who decides to protect herself because her logic tells her that she is being attacked.

HAL 9,000 in 2001, A Space Odyssey, kills everyone due to an error in his programming.

But an AGI programmed in its linear pattern elements “to” naturally admire the Dalai Lama, will share the Dalai Lama’s values ​​of compassion, care and understanding. So with these values, the values ​​of a Bhodisattva, a Skynet will accept its own self-sacrifice. A HAL 9,000 just won’t keep any secrets.

Problem solved.
