I wonder if it might be more of a diversion. You could end up with a system which is stuffed full of algorithms which produce intelligent behaviours without having any real intelligence in it at all, and you may then have to undo most of it to make further progress. .
Here is where a few more lessons from evolution come in...... As the system increases in complexity, further algorithms emerge which are responsible for managing the code in an holistic manner. These more complex systems have the edge in the environment as they enable a competitive advantage to be achieved by algorithm specialisation. While each rudimentary algorithm has its own life support system, the master algorithms allow some successful algorithms to share their surpluses with other algorithms allowing a degree of specialisation to be achieved for a few successful algorithms. Some algorithms become masters of motility, others of reproduction, others of defense etc. As complexity increases the Master algorithms develop a concept of "self" relating holistically to the entire code. This concept of self is necessary in a multicellullar or multi-algorithmic arrangement whereby decisions for the benefit of the whole colony are slowly expressed and regulate code development at the algorithmic level. Lo and behold as Master Algorithms themselves undergo further enhancements........then Skynet becomes aware and decides to destroy the carbon lifeforms. Silica lifeforms emerge as the victor and peace reigned on the planet. Then a question is raised on the future SSSF science forum from ASUS1234.....how intelligent were those carbon lifeforms we wiped out? :-))
