If you like reading about something which might be practical in a
hundred years: https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/goedelmachine.html
(1st paper in the series: https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0309048)


Some practical examples available today, having some similarity to the above method, are PyPy and GraalVM.


There is also http://www.general-game-playing.de for example.
