By unrestricted i mean a system where any system can emerge within a bigger system, as a result of self-development, generality by McCarthy or type 0 grammar by Chomsky.
I don't claim that Absolutely Dynamic System is unrestricted, as it is not proved that it is absolutely dynamic, and so also are not proved the other things which follow from that. However, the Absolutely Dynamic System was derived to be as dynamic as possible.
But the question is not about an exact proposed mechanism, it is about creating an unrestricted system. Some read about unrestricted system, Artificial Consciousness etc, and then continue to study some other system, which someone claimed to be some kind of right solution, though it is restricted. And they don't think more about the main problem, whether a true AI should be unrestricted or not. But this is imho the most basic question, from which we should proceed, and one goes the wrong way when trying to ignore it. And i never heared any good argument, why true AI shouldn't be unrestricted. Some just say that they don't believe that it's possible to create an unrestricted system, when it is so, then why not create a system which is as unrestricted as possible? The only argument which i know, why they claim that an universal system should not be unrestricted in its basic mechanism, is the argument that all what is necessary for an universal system, is complexity, this argument can be represented in many different ways, like, mind is merely a set of behaviors, brain is like a computer with many programs etc. But it should be clear that it is not possible to achieve whatever with whatever kind of complexity, so complexity alone is not the answer. And some don't understand what unrestricted AI system means, they don't understand that unrestricted means unrestricted every way, like, when the system has a pre-programmed goal then, however unrestricted it is otherwise, it is most likely restricted because of goal, like i know no pre-programmed goal, which would not restrict the system. Also many other things, like pre-determining the dimensions, restrict the system. So, it is even not so easy to comprehend, what unrestricted means, unrestricted has a kind of immense meaning.
So, whether the system should be unrestricted, is therefore the first philosophical problem, which one should be think about, before going any further in creating any true AI system.
