Faggella's essay, posted on 24 November 2023 and read as updated in 2026, names as a highest goal that intelligence or "potentia" bloom into the galaxy. Its "Worthy Successor List", a list of capabilities that an AGI could have that would convince the reader that the AGI (not humanity) should handle the reins of the future, includes launching itself into space and converting planets into vessel-making material.
