in this approach the system is thinking about its MindAgents as black boxes rather than being equipped with full knowledge of their internals. 18.3 Self-Modification via Supercompilation Now we turn to a very different form of advanced self-modification: supercompilation. Super- compilation "merely" enables procedures to run much, mu
