 |  Physical World  | The field of physics has been systematically studying the physical world since the ancient Greeks. Over 2000 years later physics is now the most advanced scientific field of all of science. Any proper scientific theory of anything must ultimately rest on its shoulders.  |
 |  \\ What is it?  | Physics seeks to uncover the "ultimate" rules which determine how the universe behaves, including life, intelligence and everything else. \\ No (general or limited) intelligence in a complex environment such as the physical world can be granted access to a full set of axioms of the system it’s controlling, let alone the ⟨agent,environment⟩ tuple, and thus the behavior of a practical generally intelligent artificial agent as a whole simply cannot be captured formally. (see [[http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~kris/ftp/AGI16_growing_recursive_self-improvers.pdf|Steunebrink et al 2016]])  |
-|  Useful AI  | To be useful, an AI must **do** something. Ultimately, to be of any use, it must do something in the //physical// world, be it building skyscrapers, auto-generating whole movies from scratch, doing experimental science or inventing the next AI.  |
+|  Useful AI  | To be useful, an AI must //**do**// something. Ultimately, to be of any use, it must do so in the //**physical world**//, be it building skyscrapers, auto-generating whole movies from scratch, doing experimental science, or inventing the next AI.  |
