I guess the first thing you would need for an Unknown Problem Solver would be some way to determine "usefulness". To be able to achieve some goal the system may need measures of usefulness which span intermediate stages towards the goal, or which are stacked in a series.
If the system has no idea of usefulness and no explicit goals then probably the best it can do is become an error corrector - i.e. look for regular patterns of activity, then find anomalies and try to take actions which correct those anomalies and restore the expected pattern.
