Mind.forth Comments for Auditory Bootstrap Screen #29

The following code from a no longer operative Screen shows how the
auditory bootstrap sequence works.  In the leftmost column, you see
ASCII values for letters of the alphabet and in the rightmost column
you see the actual English character within comment parentheses.

Each row in the sequence shows a panel of "synapse" flags which
connect the auditory "engram" of the character (as if it were a
phoneme) to its surrounding engrams and to its conceptual fiber
element "n" in the semantic memory channel array uk{ }.

As a pdaimind programmer you may alter the bootstrap sequence and
substitute whatever words and concepts you deem most approriate for
your selection of a target natural language and for specific structures
of syntax that you are implementing.
   
Please make sure in your programming that associativity (via synapse
flags) works bidirectionally through all three levels of mindcore psi{ }
and English memory uk{ } and auditory channel ear{ }.

7.Jan.1999: Comments belong here on why particular words are included
in a particular Screen.  For example, the words "and" and "not" are
necessary for the fundamental logic of verbal thought.
