I think if you have enough sensors almost anything is possible.

Consider that 20 questions toy - choose anything (dog, knife, Happiness,
thunder) and it guesses it by asking 20 questions most of which seem
irrelevant.  The interesting thing is if you look at the website ( http://www.20q.net/ ) they
say it doesn't matter what the real "truth" answer is so much as
what people say it is - a similar sort of "Learn" function from a
network of sensors should be able to achieve whatever outcome was desired.

My two cents.

"If you want to understand what living in an adaptive smarthouse would
be like and you've ever owned a TiVo then consider the logical
extension of those weird program recommendations that you can't
understand how it is arriving at, and no matter how much you
"punish"
it by hitting the Red Thumb, can't seem to get rid of."
