I didn't mean the specific cases, I meant the underlying mechanism that our brain uses to reason about these cases. There is something deeper going on that allows us to build rigorous world models from very thin abstractions, which can be applied to a seemingly arbitrary range of problems. It's this rigorous world model which is absent in AI and not currently explained by cognitive science.

In this example, the overall world model is able to easily accommodate "broken door" "functioning door" "key" etc. and come to a specific conclusion about this problem. The specific conclusion can be easily expressed in human language. The world model itself can't.
