...… just make sure the consistent internal logic is well grounded on known physics.
Is it? That smarter(faster)-than-human intelligence is possible is well grounded on known physics? If that is the case, how does it follow that intelligence can be applied to itself effectively, to the extent that one could realistically talk about “explosive” recursive self-improvement?

Some still seem sceptical—and you probably also need some math, compsci and philosophy to best understand the case for superhuman intelligence being possible.
Not only is there evidence that smarter than human intelligence is possible it is something that should be trivial given a vaguely sane reductionist model. Moreover you specifically have been given evidence on previous occasions when you have asked similar questions.
What you have not been given and what are not available are empirical observations of smarter than human intelligences existing now. That is evidence to which you would not be entitled.

Please provide a link to this effect? (Going off topic, I would suggest that a “show all threads with one or more comments by users X, Y and Z” or “show conversations between users X and Y” feature on LW might be useful.)

Please provide such a link. (Going off-topic, I additionally suggest that a “show all conversations between user X and user Y” feature on Less Wrong might be useful.)
It is currently not possible for me to either link or quote. I do not own a computer in this hemisphere and my android does not seem to have keys for brackets or greater than symbols. workarounds welcome.
The solution varies by model, but on mine, alt-shift-letter physical key combinations do special characters that aren’t labelled. You can also use the on-screen keyboard, and there are more onscreen keyboards available for download if the one you’re currently using is badly broken.

SwiftKey x beta Brilliant!
OK, can I have my quote(s) now? It might just be hidden somewhere in the comments to this very article.
Can you copy and paste characters?
