David,

Seems like a reasonable argument to me. I agree with the emphasis on
acquiring knowledge. I agree that tackling language first is not the easiest
path. I agree with the comments on compositionality of knowledge & the
regularity of the vast majority of the environment.

Vision seems like a fine domain choice. However, there are other domain
choices. I think your goal of generality would be well-served by keeping in
mind some of these other domains at the same time as vision, so that your
algorithms have some cross-domain applicability. The same algorithm that can
find patterns in the visual field should also be able to find patterns in a
database of medical information, say. That is my way of thinking, at least.

(Without this sort of generality, your approach seems restricted to
gathering knowledge about whatever events unfold in front of a limited
quantity of high-quality camera systems which you set up. To be honest, the
usefulness of that sort of knowledge is not obvious.)
