Interesting post throughout, but don’t you overplay your hand a bit here?
There’s nothing that looks remotely like a goal in its programming, [...]
An IF-THEN piece of code comparing a measured RGB value to a threshold value for firing the laser would look at least remotely like a goal to my mind.
Consider a robot where the B signal is amplified and transmitted directly to the laser (so brighter blue equals strong laser firing). This eliminates the conditional logic while still keeping approximately the same apparent goal.
