For those who have already read it, it is essentially the same paper except that I have expanded the abstract. The paper describes a mathematical model of RSI in closed environments (e.g. boxed AI) and shows that such programs exist in a certain sense. It can be found here:

is possible in a mathematical sense, it is too slow to be of practical
use, or to compete with evolutionary systems, at least for fixed goals."
What is the justification for this statement?
