Oh dear. That's Artificial Intelligence Day 1. It also doesn't work. That isn't an AI. There's also the slight dual problems of Nyquist and Shannon limits which dictate why this can't physically work in a digital system. But never mind. You seem to know that it is possible and it that's how to do it. No amount of prior research since 1948 onwards will be of any use to you.
You already have the answer. Its all just a matter of brute-force computing power and nothing else. Its that unsubtle, is it? Geee -- what a waste of time! All these years and it was just a matter of a big enough look up table. What a fool everyone has been not to just realise that!
So c'mon then, where is your fully functional robotic AI? Keeping it a secret isn't fair to the rest of us.
Did you consider any of these:

And this one's a doozy: http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?filename=0&...
And they're just scratching the surface of a very deep field of research.
Clearly there's no theoretical difficulty; with a large enough lookup table you could simulate every action an individual could take. Whether this lookup table can be considered conscious is academic if we have no way of defining consciousness.
So the question becomes: is there a more efficient algorithm that can be executed by a machine that it is feasible to build?
Because you're apparently certain that there isn't, you must have a mathematical proof that this algorithm cannot exist, right?
And even if your "certainty" was merely hyperbole, perhaps in lieu of proof you could provide some compelling evidence of your case?
