Unexpected is *totally* different from previously unseen. If you've seen
that 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11 are large & black and that 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 are
small & red but you've never seen 13, you still have expectations about it and
can make (what is likely to be very good) predictions about it.

Then what *are* you using if your current database/world model has
"nothing" to offer. It *has* to be offering something -- like suggested plans
to try or ways to get more information.
Please take the time to try to understand what I'm saying rather than putting
up ridiculous strawmen.

No it's not "prediction" - nothing can predict the unexpected.
What distinguishes divergent vs convergent intelligence (AGI vs AI) is the
ability to find new ways of overcoming new [previously unseen/unexpected]
obstacles to your goals - when your current database/ world model has nothing
immediately to offer.
