Yeah, this is something we have discussed in an AGISim/Novamente
context, though we have not done it yet. Basically, giving a
Novamente system an "internal AGISim" theatre in which to experiment
with various actions and scenarios, using simulated physics to
shortcut the need for extensive cognition when appropriate...
Good. That's exactly the sort of thing that's needed, and that few if any other projects have attempted. (Simulated physics isn't just a shortcut for reasoning. "Making a bed by flicking the blankets - why does that work?")
Not that Ben particularly needs my stamp of approval :) - but I think it's worth highlighting this because it's important. The interplay between perception and simulated physics is one of those features of the brain that's not just a historical accident.
