Superintelligence, by its nature, is able to bootstrap itself. Therefore, there does not exist any primitive before it.

If it can exist after a series of steps, it's not superintelligent. Just buggy.

Isn't that the real horror? Slightly broken software running amok, embedded deeply in systems we no longer understand.
