Damn, now we're getting somewhere. Maybe.
I read this as suggesting the correlation between low-level logic
(functions) and high-level volition (agents) is real only if Friendliness
(reduced volitional clashing) is dependant on prediction and intelligence
(extrapolating complexity) is dependant on efficiency.
He earlier suggested a deeper, perhaps quantum computative nessecity for
Friendliness which goes beyond deterministic prediction, he called it
projection. I'd say this theorem is obvious to most people on the list, but
that Geddes himself doesn't believe it. How very devious.
