Cyc does come close. Cyc is designed to support context driven rule
sets. As for dynamic decision making, code would have to be written
to interface Cyc with a dynamic I/O system. This has been done in
other cases. (03)

Something like this will probably require special coding for decades, imho.
But interfacing with COTS software is beneficial. (06)
