Which is also my question. I think Doug and I might have discussed
this once before. I have an axiom that and entity (not a machine but
something with and using it's own volition and knowledge) cannot
create something equal to or certainly not greater than itself.
Interestingly though a machine I believe can replicate itself, just as
DNA does.

What's your definition of an entity? Seems there are programs (or
could be) capable of creating equal, and perhaps better programs.
