r the various cognitively-relevant properties of the environment from looking at data about the ev- eryday world. We agree in principle, and in fact Ben Kuipers and his colleagues have done some interesting work in this direction, showing that learning algorithms can infer some basics about the structure of

hypothesis, in order to qualitatively guide our practical AGI R&D and also to motivate further, more rigorous theoretical work. 9.8.1 Generalizing the Embodied Communication Prior One interesting direction for further research would be to broaden the scope of the inquiry, in a manner suggested above: instead of just loo
