What if:
(1) The legs do something nonambulatory (in the Touring sense),
thanks to as-yet unknown physics;
(2) This nonambulation lies at the heart of walking; and
(3) We must explicitly take advantage of this feat [I'll restrain myself]
of physics in order to produce an avatar capable of running, in "real AI"?
