If it's me being discussed here I have to concede that Damian is right.  If the world has to rely on me we're fucked ;)  I gave the FAI problem a go as a hobby and crashed hopelessly against the problem for a couple of years, speaking mostly gibberish.  Actually, I was trying for a 'theory of everything'.  After a couple of years of gibberish I have finally managed to get to my 'theory of everything' to the point where I have an intuitive set of ideas that are at least comprehensible.  Now I just need to somehow  massively boost my IQ and hit the books for another ten years.... *sigh*
 
I can tell you all that there are definitely 7 universal 'categories of cognition' (or knowledge domains):  Mathematics, Matter, Mentality, Meaning, Model, Morality and Mind.  And there's some sort of highly esoteric mathematical mapping between them which is the key to everything.  Beyond that... *sigh*
 
Those who are interested can check out my rough diagram here which is a sort of 'periodic table of cognition'.  Best I've managed so far...

THE BRAIN is wider than the sky,  
  For, put them side by side,  
The one the other will include  
  With ease, and you beside. 

-Emily Dickinson
