🚀 Your 12-Month Journey to AGI
Building an AGI cultivation system isn’t a weekend project – it’s a systematic journey that takes approximately 12 months. But with this roadmap, you’ll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to measure success.
The good news: Each phase produces valuable results, even if AGI doesn’t emerge in the first year.

If you want to start immediately, here's the minimal viable implementation:
minimal_agi_cultivation.py
from core.agent import CultivationAgent
from worlds.physical_world import PhysicalWorld
from monitoring.emergence_detector import AGIEmergenceDetector
Create basic agent and world
agent = CultivationAgent("starter", basic_constraints)
