I AM talking about design decision in the architecture. I assume that AGI is so resource constrained at this time that the architecture has to be molded to conventional hardware for the next several years. It would be nice not to worry about that and just design AGI based on theory assuming infinite resources. Take the brain for example. It's not one homogenous mass of entangled neurons. It is partitioned up. This evolved design is partially based on efficiency. If the electrochemical communication metrics were different the brain would be partitioned up differently.
