prediction:open-ended-evolution-of-intelligence-is-possible-because-agents-are-collectives-without-fixed-essenceOpen-ended evolution of intelligence is possible because agents are collectives without fixed essence
Follows from observation that intelligent systems lack context-transcendent core; their maxima are not contingent on permanent character.
