Notes: A bot that plays Cogmind? (Patreon)

For a long time I've toyed with the idea of having a bot that plays Cogmind, just for fun, and especially in recent months I've thought of the idea more and more often, even coming close to starting implementation a couple times now.
The second such time was last night, though I stopped myself short because I really shouldn't be getting into another project like this just yet. But the first time, a few weeks ago, I also took some notes about the fundamentals of such a system, and thought I'd share the updated version here after having added a few points again yesterday.
It'd be a huge job to get this bot's performance on par with a decent player, but I thought it could be fun even if we just had a dumb bot that you could watch play and see what it does, perhaps one day even providing some sort of indirect input, or allowing the player partial control for X number of actions before the AI takes over for X actions, and you try to survive that way :)
Anyway, notes are attached if you want to see what I jotted down! It's in the same format as all my notes, just outline-style lists.
