“Complexity” is a substitute for thought here. You couldn’t begin to specify what are the complex elements here.
The reality is that living systems can translate these desires/goals, however internally represented, into initial actions in a second, and extended courses of action in just a few seconds. The idea that there is some systematic consideration of sets of sets of alternative courses of action and environments – “sets of sets” because the infant/animal could be in an infinite diversity of situations – is quite, quite mad, i.e. divorced from any reality whatsoever other than narrow AI programs which are incapable of this kind of intelligence and action.

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.

How do the words translate into a physical course of action? How (i.e. in what forms of representation) would an infant AGI think that hadn’t yet learned language, when it say wants to “go across the room”... crawl, roll, whatever across the carpet to a toy? How do you get from “go” to its first and subsequent movements of limbs?
