Ummm.
You asserted that such a mind without a "fixed goal system" was
impossible, and yet, 90+% of human parents raise their children
without ever getting bored and leaving them to die. Proof by
existence: many human minds succeed at this, and without getting
into infinite loops.
We only need to create one such mind; this isn't a random search
through mind space, any more than you get a car by randomly throwing
molecules together.
