Has any philosopher published results discussing Russell's Problems of Philosophy from a robot's point of view? Does the table exist? Does the robot "believe" the table exists? Can a robot "sense" the table?

Robot uses inference, possibly backed up by a brute force trial error and re-evaluate. A long enough running narrative can explain away almost anything can't it?

The existential is the moment of resolve (now). Anything past is forensic, and the future is the domain of probability.

The existential state changes dynamically in every application of every model. Transient labels and meanings are humanities stumbling blocks.

Do you "feel" it's a table?
