Query: Representing Knowledge as Predictions (and State as Knowledge)   This paper shows how a single mechanism allows knowledge to be constructed
layer by layer directly from an agent's raw sensorimotor stream. This
mechanism, the General Value Function (GVF) or "forecast," captures high-level,
abstract knowledge as a set of predictions about existing features and
knowledge, based exclusively on the agent's low-level senses and actions.
  Thus, forecasts provide a representation for organizing raw sensorimotor data
into useful abstractions over an unlimited number of layers--a long-sought goal
of AI and cognitive science.
  The heart of this paper is a detailed thought experiment providing a
concrete, step-by-step formal illustration of how an artificial agent can build
true, useful, abstract knowledge from its raw sensorimotor experience alone.
The knowledge is represented as a set of layered predictions (forecasts) about
the agent's observed consequences of its actions. This illustration shows
twelve separate layers: the lowest consisting of raw pixels, touch and force
sensors, and a small number of actions; the higher layers increasing in
abstraction, eventually resulting in rich knowledge about the agent's world,
corresponding roughly to doorways, walls, rooms, and floor plans. I then argue
that this general mechanism may allow the representation of a broad spectrum of
everyday human knowledge.
