In real life, with real people, of course, this is one of the most basic capabilities (on both ends) -- it's called "telling a story". Real intelligence generates a stock of scripts from experience, both firsthand and secondhand. The key is to be able to parse your experience as a script in such a way you can use it later. And that gets us back to representation and concept formation: unsolved as yet (and that's why I said that the original work had a gap separating it from the implementable). But in its own terms, at its ontological level, I think it was generally on track.
