The Archimedean trap: Why traditional reinforcement learning will probably not yield AGI

Abstract

Traditional reinforcement learning may be insufficient for achieving artificial general intelligence due to its reliance on real-numbered rewards that cannot adequately represent non-Archimedean structures inherent in certain complex tasks.

AI-generated summary

After generalizing the Archimedean property of real numbers in such a way as to make it adaptable to non-numeric structures, we demonstrate that the real numbers cannot be used to accurately measure non-Archimedean structures. We argue that, since an agent with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) should have no problem engaging in tasks that inherently involve non-Archimedean rewards, and since traditional reinforcement learning rewards are real numbers, therefore traditional reinforcement learning probably will not lead to AGI. We indicate two possible ways traditional reinforcement learning could be altered to remove this roadblock.
