How To Write an AI

If our goal is to write program, that interprets naturals language and the real world, then we should provide an example how to interpret it. For example, we can take a child's book with a simple story, then provide just enough framework for the program to interpret the text: what each book's character does, what he/she wears, how he/she relates to other characters, what he can and cannot do. All so that the program would be able to build mental model, draw characters, describe them, reflect on itself and simulate the reality of the book, the actions of the book's characters and causal relationships between the worlds events.

Depends if a certain ambiguity is a bonus.

I'd think good idea, if the aim is to parse the language in a 'natural' sense, would be a system capable of doing something based on a combination of this sort of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_primes
With some way of measuring a distance and relation from other symbols in terms of these primitives you'd end up with less of a dimensional tree and more of a weighted and typed network.
