Yeah in retrospect I probably should reword that, as it may not convey my model very well. I am fairly confident that AGI will require something like recursion (or recurrence actually), but that something more specifically is information flow across time—over various timescales—and across the space of intermediate computations, but you can also get that from using memory mechanisms.
Just for the record: I am working on a brain-like AGI project, and I think approaches that simulate agents in a human-like environment are important and will plausibly give a lot of insights into value acquisition in AI and humans alike. I’m just less confident about many of your specific claims.
