By "design a new mind", do you mean evolve a new mind using genetic algorithms? If so, why would that be easier to untangle? Also, why must the naturally evolved mind be completely untangled rather than just the interfaces? And why can't the naturally evolved mind be uploaded and evolved further using genetic algorithms - a starting point for the GA?
