Sure, that would set up synchronization of sensory data input streams, but it does not address my question: How does the AGI come so interprete those data streams in a way that is compatible with ours?
If we build the robot body with EMF exitation sensors that operate in the same range as ours and with sensors for atmospheric pressure wave sequences as our ears, etc. Then maybe it might "experience" a world like ours, but how can we be sure? This is the same question as: How can I be sure that your experience of Blue is the exact same as mine? I have tried to build a bisimulation argument that might show this but it has not worked very well at all. It is frustrating....
