Er, just to clarify. You guys have, or know of, AI systems which run continuous 
movies of the world, analysing and responding to those movies with all the 
relevant senses, as discussed below, and then to the world beyond those movies, 
in real time (or any time, for that matter)?

    I have been working on getting exactly that sort of cognitive system

    I don't know: perhaps you think it is especially difficult because you 
    have not done much work on it.

    Conventional approaches to AI may well have trouble in this area, but 
    since my approach has been directed at these kinds of issues since the 
    very beginning, to me it looks relatively straightforward in principle.

    The real issues are elsewhere.

  I agree!  The significant obstacles are elsewhere.  The integration of ideas 
and the ability to index large volumes of information so that recognition 
systems can find them quickly are two problems that I see as particularly 
difficult.  Even if we were able to show how to get the job done for a special 
case it would not necessarily translate into a feasible and extensible general 
program.
