I would like to present a different perspective to the phrase "Learn from
your mistakes". What exactly do we learn from our mistakes? How about: "That
course of action had a 'bad' outcome." One might even consider this an
atomic componant of judgement, opinion, the beginnings of instinct, the
basis of a hunch.

This process seems to me to require a system of two componants:
1). An eye that can see the situation
2). A memory that classifies situation outcomes

Ideally, there would be a third componant: Some motor skills that provide
movement out of 'bad' outcome situations, and toward 'good' outcome
situations.

Then "learning" might be a process of adding new situation/outcome pairs to
the creature's knowledge space.
