Hint: Given a true general purpose problem solving machine (GPPSM) that has an understanding of the whole domain not just one of the current problem, the problem of attention, i.e. it working out what to do next including both what sub task and what new task, is just a problem =>

for it to solve that it can solve in the same way as it solves other problems. (I spotted this around 2008 and found it to be a key aspect of the machine going by itself). It must achieve attention using intelligent problem solving and not some hardwired [executive] process =>
