It's not just intention. It's, as some times dismissively put, "common sense". What price is an airline ticket on the first day of a global pandemic? No one knows, and there isn't anything to provide a "procedural system" in order for it to model what our "intention" would be in those cases. This seems obvious with a pandemic, but it is common place. Every day is a genuinely novel occurence, and counts only as a repetition of some superficial patterns in very very limited respects. When this novelty becomes relevant to a problem can never, (obviously), be pre-stated because we don't yet know what that novelty is. There is simply no substitute for being-in-the-world as animals are, that is: moving around, communicating, acting, reacting and participating. Growing, learning, reproducing, and problem-solving in direct causal contact with reality. This isn't magic, but there is no "procedural model" of it; nor should we expect there to be. There aren't procedural models of almost any phenomenon. What we can build a computer to do is "almost nothing", and we shouldnt expect the trivial problem space given by this to exhaust what we actually need machines to do.
