Perhaps I'm mistaken, but from what I've read of Brooks, that's exactly the
*opposite* of what subsumption achitecture does. I thought his idea was let
the environment tell you where you are, and don't use an internal
representation at all. The net, as usual, will correct me if I'm wrong :-).

I believe one paper was titled "Planning is just a way of avoiding figuring
out what to do next."
