Your proposal sounds very deep ...
I look forward to reading it.
Please consider adding (to your citations) my own contribution to the field

One of the main conclusions of the paper I am writing now is that you
will (almost certainly) have no choice in the matter, because a
sufficiently powerful type of AGI will be conscious whether you like it
or not.

Consciousness has only been demonstrated in biological systems.
Until we can understand how consc. emerges within biology / neuroanatomy
contexts
then your AGI assertions amount to nothing but faith-based conjectures
...
Actually, my proposal is not just about AGI, as you imply, it is about
understanding how consciousness emerges within biology/neuroanatomy (more
generally, how it emerges within any system that shows intelligence of a
cerrtain sort, regardless of substrate).
So it applies equally to the biology and the AGI cases. I would never
suggest a solution to the problem if it did not cover both.
