What's missing is an exhaustive understanding of natural language. If
you consider something like English it's unlikely there is any kind of
exact understanding of the mechanics involved. It's possible to piece
together some semantics and grammar but nothing like a whole picture.

1. The ability to observe (i.e., receive and create associations using
external inputs)

2. The ability to access existing associations by way of new external
inputs (i.e., mapping inputs to outputs)

3. Unsupervised punishment and reward (i.e., it associates the things
it does with the the positive or negaive results produced)
