I think it can be done with finite computational resources. The
required resources for the relatively simple algorithm described below
are impractially large, of course. There's no practical difference,
so I'm nitpicking here.

Well, in that case the feco-ventilatory intersection is fast
approaching. My proposed solution is still out there, complete with
Python code that works for toy problems but can't run on real problems
and real hardware. The paper is at:

There's one known bug. It seems fixable:

Last time we spoke about this someone was demanding that we also have
a question-answerer, in addition to a Friendly AI. I sketched out how
to do that:

There hasn't been any significant progress since last time around,
though. Having a day job and kids keeps me busier than I would like.
