SEE will be a very complicated agent, as will MOVE. In addition, the system will have to keep track, too, so not to SEE/MOVE/GRASP blocks already on the tower that are being constructed. "When we look closely at these requirments, we find a bewildering world of complicated questions."
I.E., underlying "simple" acts are astonishingly complex information processing problems. (NB: This was one of the lessons provided by the natural computation approach to vision.)
"Common sense is not a simple thing. Instead, it is an immense soicety of hard-earned practical ideas -- of multitudes of liefe-learned rules and exceptions, dispositions and tendencies, balances and checks."
So what makes "common sense" so obvious and natural? As skills mature, we (iteratively) build layers of more complex skills on them. The mature skills therefore become more remote. This brings to my mind the transition from a controlled process to an automatic process, as described by Shiffrin and Schneider.
