Anyone who has worked on large complex software engineering projects, especially AGI which tops them all knows about redesigns/rewrites. It's a good sign actually. And it's a form of RSI.
The way to grok this paper, the way I approach it is to scan it back and forth many times then imagine the graphs in your mind, visualize the hypergraphs, metagraphs, operations, inference, learning, mining, attention, then folding and then Galois Connections. I don't fully comprehend all aspects but I know Ben has unique perspective on designing and building these things so I at least make the effort. Hijacking the message thread to ask why it ain't it done yet is really being a troll, is annoying and disrespectful IMO. This here I find interesting, it's a decision based on much experience apparently: "Because AGI systems necessarily involve dynamic updating of the knowledge base on which cognitive algorithms are acting, in the course of the cognitive algorithm’s activity, there is an unavoidable heuristic aspect to the application of the theory given here to real AGI systems. The equivalence of a recursively defined DDS on a metagraph to a folding and unfolding process across that metagraph only holds rigorously if one assumes the metagraph is not changing during the folding - which will not generally be the case. What needs to happen in practice, I suggest, is that the folding and unfolding happen and they do change the metagraph, and one then has a complex self-organizing / self-modifying system that is only moderately well approximated by the idealized case directly addressed by the theory presented here." There's a tradeoff between fidelity and implementable practicality it seems. Go for the low hanging fruit.
