Actually I think that the word "kankaku" has multiple meanings. You are
right in the meaning that you say, but I just meant judging which is
ahead without reading, by "feeling". In this meaning, we can say every
programs already have feeling, even if they are different from human's
kankaku and strange in the fuseki stage. Zen already has the opening
book and some joseki patterns. However, the problem is, a good position
for a human is not always good for a program, because of their feeling.
