AGI is Not Possible. But Something Better Might be. (ICB IV: "pars construens")

Time for a constructive turn. Artificial General Intelligence, as an autonomous algorithmic system, is not possible. This result is not a limitation of current methods, but a consequence of the Infinite Choice Barrier (Schlereth 2025 a-c). However, the impossibility of AGI does not imply the impossibility of superior intelligence in general. On the contrary: once the Barrier is acknowledged, it becomes the foundation for a different architecture — Compositional Superior Intelligence — in which algorithmic inference and non-algorithmic judgment are composed across a boundary they do not attempt to erase. ----- For comprehensive formal machine verification go to Zenodo - DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21352475 ----
