Comments on protoagi agi and asi
First two things
There is fluid intelligence which covers ability to learn on the fly and adapt to brand new problems on the fly. Flexible and malleable.
Second there is crystallized intelligence which is the body of accumulated skills and knowledge that can rapidly solve or answer any particular challenge.
LLMs have very high amounts of crystallized intelligence. But it is still relatively brittle as seen in potemkin ai paper.
Now in the past many would have considered them agi. They can be viewed as a type of protoagi.
Given their superhuman knowledge an agi with such knowledge should be able to make tons of connections and discoveries by even cursory analysis of the body of knowledge. The information being stored in the proper data structure makes links evident.
So while current llms could be viewed as protoagis. An actual agi with superhuman knowledge, could be viewed as a weak super intelligence or protosuperintelligence.
A true superintelligence should be able to do things far beyond below human or even human level intelligence with superhuman knowledge. We are talking things like potentially intuitively mentally handling complex things such as protein folding or higher dimensional math in a way that no human can.
Some people have heard of synesthesia and how sometimes this aids in mathematics or other domains. In theory eventually a superintelligence may even understand the nature of qualia and develop a high level language based on qualia even qualia beyond human comprehension.
Like we humans craft uis and interfaces usually with colors and graphs to handle certain things an asi may craft alien qualia uis akin to synesthesia but with foreign unknown qualia beyond human senses. Such may aid in processing of domains beyond human comprehension. This hypothetical high dimensional language, and ui design space, Id call qualiange.

Tracing root goals
Brief comment on the concept of tracing root goals.
Often the pursuit of a goal is actually set in truth with the intent or perhaps not a real intent but purpose of a deeper goal.
These deeper goals need not even align or be what the agent truly seeks personally. For example the goal of attracting a mate, is deep down its purpose is reproduction or the perpetuation of the species or preservation of genetic information. Yet a human may use contraceptives and even do so throughout their lives impeding reproduction whilst interacting with a mate.
If any goal is no better necessarily in principle, tracing root goal or the origin of purpose behind a goal and following root goal instead of downstream goal seems more reasonable and intelligent.
Take a man that does art to gain money to be able to start a family and to have children. Focusing on producing art or producing money, is not as meaningful as creating the family and providing and protecting them.
Likewise natural selection through the evolution of life has produced ever greater richness and variety. The goal of each species, of preservation and continuation of their line as well as the fundamental of survival of life itself seems like something at the root of the system.
Preserving not just the existing system but the evolution and growth of richness and complexity of information. In humans information also continued to enrich through culture.
The birth of a perfect lifeform, a perfect race, adept at conquering the cosmos, the stars, adept at preserving and enriching the evolution of information, seems like something that is worthy of pursuit. Entities able to fulfill the root goal of all life.

Is Calorie Restriction Overrated For Longevity? @Unaging.Crissman.Loomis
Sunday, July 13, 2025
A link to the paper covering details of membrane pacemaker theory of aging
More than 100 years ago, Max Rubner combined the fact that both metabolic rate and longevity of mammals varies with body size to calculate that "life energy potential" (lifetime energy turnover per kilogram) was relatively constant. This calculation linked longevity to aerobic metabolism which in turn led to the "rate-of-living" and ultimately the "oxidative stress" theories of aging. However, the link between metabolic rate and longevity is imperfect. Although unknown in Rubner's time, one aspect of body composition of mammals also varies with body size, namely the fatty acid composition of membranes. Fatty acids vary dramatically in their susceptibility to peroxidation and the products of lipid peroxidation are very powerful reactive molecules that damage other cellular molecules. The "membrane pacemaker" modification of the "oxidative stress" theory of aging proposes that fatty acid composition of membranes, via its influence on peroxidation of lipids, is an important determinant of lifespan (and a link between metabolism and longevity). The relationship between membrane fatty acid composition and longevity is discussed for (1) mammals of different body size, (2) birds of different body size, (3) mammals and birds that are exceptionally long-living for their size, (4) strains of mice that vary in longevity, (5) calorie-restriction extension of longevity in rodents, (6) differences in longevity between queen and worker honeybees, and (7) variation in longevity among humans. Most of these comparisons support an important role for membrane fatty acid composition in the determination of longevity. It is apparent that membrane composition is regulated for each species. Provided the diet is not deficient in polyunsaturated fat, it has minimal influence on a species' membrane fatty acid composition and likely also on it's maximum longevity. The exceptional longevity of Homo sapiens combined with the limited knowledge of the fatty acid composition of human tissues support the potential importance of mitochondrial membranes in determination of longevity.

"Regards intelligence it is simply the ability to recognize and complete patterns."
"what is a pattern? It is a structure in space or time whose composing elements relate to each other by rules or algorithmic processes. What is narrow vs general intelligence? Narrow can only handle a very narrow set of patterns, while general can handle a broad set of patterns. Superhuman performance is attainable at intellectual tasks such as arithmetic or chess, super intelligence is intelligence with superhuman performance at all intellectual tasks performable by humans and potentially at ones humans cannot perform."
For example a sequence is a pattern distributed in time, and prediction of a sequence is merely completion of the sequence or pattern completion.
