Higher level thinking is model building from sensory input. I have not seen any system out there that learns to reason about 3D space by just going around touching&#x2F;feeling things and then incorporating that feedback with other senses. Everything starts with a model built-in and then tweaks parameters through some kind of optimization mechanism. Which is fine but that&#x27;s not really intelligence in the sense of coming up with novel models and incorporating it into pre-existing models.
