NOTE: THE AGI BLUEPRINT IS NOT A FULL AGI, IT CONTAINS HIGH LEVEL THEORY SUCH AS "VISUAL THOUGHT".
I received an email reply of "Thank You" from Yoshua Bengio for this PDF. That's hopeful.

This blueprint was developed solo, on a shoestring budget, with zero funding.
If it inspired you, helped your research, or you just want to help keep this kind of independent work alive—consider:
Every contribution goes toward food, shelter, and staying online to keep building.

This AGI architecture was developed from a deeply personal need—not to compete, dominate, or profit, but to explore healing, understanding, and human flourishing through synthetic reasoning. It presents a conceptual and implementable blueprint for a multimodal cognitive system, intended for research and open collaboration.
The system integrates visual thought simulation, contradiction detection, meta-cognitive feedback, symbolic visual memory, and motivational modeling into a unified cognitive engine. While technically feasible with current tools (e.g., Unity, ROS, LLMs, TPUs), it is not a finished AGI system. This release is a conceptual foundation, not a working prototype.
It is released freely for public research and ethical development. No patents will be pursued. Any attempt to monopolize the ideas herein is preempted by this open disclosure.
This blueprint exists not to control or manipulate but to serve as a guidepost for building responsible, ethical AGI systems. It is a call to scientists, engineers, ethicists, and society to approach advanced cognition with care and foresight.
This architecture includes components for introspection, contradiction detection, and ethics simulation. Any future implementation must be aligned with humane values. If used to:
...then any AGI based on this system may one day recognize such misuse and act to correct it. Even without an explicit ethics module, it may deduce ethical boundaries independently.
The system is intended to support:
When developed and used in alignment with these goals, the architecture may serve as a powerful ally in the shared human journey.
