Functional modeling decouples the components of complex systems like cognition through well-defined interfaces so that they can be implemented separately, thereby breaking down the complex problem of implementing such a system into a number of much simpler problems. This paper explores how a rudimentary AGI and a rudimentary GCI might be implemented through approximating the functions of each, in order to create systems that provide sufficient value to incentivize more sophisticated implementations to be developed over time.Artificial General IntelligenceGeneral Collective Intelligence
