    2.45 + - HACKER for writing muscle-control programs : Presented with
    2.46 +   low-level muscle control/ sense API, generate higher level programs
    2.47 +   for accomplishing various stated goals. Example goals might be
    2.48 +   "extend all your fingers" or "move your hand into the area with
    2.49 +   blue light" or "decrease the angle of this joint".  It would be
    2.50 +   like Sussman's HACKER, except it would operate with much more data
    2.51 +   in a more realistic world.  Start off with "calestanthics" to
    2.52 +   develop subrouitines over the motor control API.  This would be the
    2.53 +   "spinal chord" of a more intelligent creature.  The low level
    2.54 +   programming code might be a turning machine that could develop
    2.55 +   programs to iterate over a "tape" where each entry in the tape
    2.56 +   could control recruitment of the fibers in a muscle.
    2.57 + - Make a virtual computer in the virtual world which with which the
    2.58 +   creature interacts using its fingers to press keys on a virtual
    2.59 +   keyboard.  The creature can access the internet, watch videos, take
    2.60 +   over the world, anything it wants.
    2.61 + - Make virtual insturments like pianos, drumbs, etc that it learns to
    2.62 +   play.
    2.63 + - make a joint that figures out what type of joint it is (range of
    2.64 +   motion)
