Which was my thesis topic and is the basis of my AGI design.

(I wanted to do my dissertation on AI/compression, but funding issues got in 
the way).

Distributed indexing is critical to an AGI design consisting of a huge number 
of relatively dumb specialists and an infrastructure for getting messages to 
the right ones. In my thesis, I proposed a vector space model where messages 
are routed in O(n) time over n nodes. The problem is that the number of 
connections per node has to be on the order of the number of dimensions in the 
search space. For text, that is about 10^5.

There are many other issues, of course, such as fault tolerance, security and 
ownership issues. There has to be an economic incentive to contribute knowledge 
and computing resources, because it is too expensive for anyone to own it.

Yes it does. It is an upper bound on the complexity of a baby.
