I wonder how different is this from a super-scaled brute-force approach?

this reinforces my suspicion (as I try to understand it) that the AI's main contribution is auto-categorizing (some form of compression which resembles understanding; I already suspect that understanding is a form of compression) the exhaustive enumerations as they compute the entire search space

understanding is a function of memory which is a function of time which is a function of gravity which is a function of the curvature of space time.
