I didn't read the wall of text but to people interested in AI:
First: Don't confuse artificial intelligence with artificial life (often done in research)
Second: I don't know about videogame AI but if people are interested they should read articles about game trees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensive-form_game), alpha-beta-pruning, POP (partial order planning) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial-order_planning) and related articles.
