Matt,

>So, what formal language model can solve this problem?

A FL that clearly separates basic semantic concepts like objects,
attributes, time, space, actions, roles, relationships, etc + core
subjective concepts e.g. want, need, feel, aware, believe, expect,
unreal/fantasy. Humans have senses & DNA-based brain-wiring that
supports perceiving/identifying those core semantic concepts. For
practical reasons, machines IMO also need some built-in support for
that.

>You were given lots of examples and induced a pattern..

The FL doesn't prevent that.

Helps to semantically parse the input. You cannot solve problems that
require reasoning if you don't understand the input well enough to be
able to build queriable models that meaningfully correspond to the
real world. And to figure out if it "meaningfully corresponds to the
real world", you test it by the input-driven modifications and
subsequent evaluation of query results.
