Going through the definition of AGI under eclipse phase is basically any conscience obtained through virtual means(therefore excluding artificial biological minds), and an infomorph is a transhuman conscience in virtual state. The definitions seems pretty solid, did they program you? AGI, did they scan your brain and run you through a server? Infomorph, the problem es that, in the end, it depends on the actual interpretation and views of both things. So, for any transhuman we have the case that for some, there is no factual difference between an AGI and a infomorph, in the sense that they're undistinguishable except some baseline points that are based around real transhuman anyway, that could be a pro-mercurial position. But to a jovian, could he find a difference? Of course he can accept both definitions, but, jovians accept that a conscience cannot be copied into a virtual state and still be considered human(and to some extenet this is true, it would be considered transhuman) so a conscience, a true person, shouldn't be able to run in any processor abd be considered a person or even alive, but thise comes from the idea that you can't copy all the human condition. Therefore, is there a difference between an AGI and a "virtual person" if we don't consider any of those live humans? In fact, to a jovian, both of them are just programs running in a computer, they're code claiming to be in equal condition to humanity but clearly they're not equal nor persons. Both are mere processors and the only real difference is the origin, therefore, an AGI could be simply a totally artificial infomorph, and an infomorph could simply considered an AGI with the baseline that came from the brain of a former human. In conclusion, an infomorph and AGI are the same thng, from different origins. Now, if this is true, it means that any transhuman is a form of artificial intellience that is potentially looking foward to improve himself into seed AGI status, while any biological human is not, so now AGIs and informorphs should logically be considered equally dangerous in the republic, the only way I see to overcome this, is political pragmatism; although informorphs are just a type of AGIs they're the most common form of travel in the solar system the most usual state for the majority of the population and giving them that statous would severe the jovian republic relationship with the rest of the factions and limit their possible oportunities with bioconservative habitats that were still forced into infomorph state or have to work with infomorphs. This aproach is comepletly hypocritical, but I guess thats somehow unavoidable if you use a political solution.
