How do you get from “go” to its first and subsequent movements of limbs? Bear in mind, that the same wish – the same formulation – could apply to the infant in vastly diverse physical situations - initial physical positions llike lying, sitting, lying on side, standing against some object etc - and vastly different room configurations. ---------------------------- There is a problem here, but the only true problem is one of complexity. The same problem occurs when the program tries to make sense out of the IO data that is input to the program so that it can recognize what kind of situation that it is in or responding to. The problem also occurs when it has to select the best kind of reaction to the situation when there are many otions that it can select from which are related to the complexities of the situation. There are no serious problems with implementing general AI other then the complexity of these kinds of problems. A situation can be recognized based on many components and there are many 'ideas' (about different kinds of situations) that can be recognized based on some of the components that may occur in the situation. It is a many-to-many kind of interpretation problem. Some problems are much simpler, but the complications is what makes general AI so complex.
