This is a road that does not lead to Friendly AI, only to AGI. I doubt this has anything to do with Lenat's motives - but I'm glad the source code isn't published and I don't think you'd be doing a service to the human species by trying to reimplement it.

You may stop worrying for the moment. I just tried to wade through the papers RichardKennaway has put up, and it seems reimplementing EURISKO given Lenat's most detailed descriptions of it will likely be a big creative endeavor. Download them, read them and then tell me just one thing: do you now know (even approximately) what the main loop looks like, or not? Cause I couldn't make it out in half an hour's reading.
