CODING THE SENTENCE-GENERATION ROUTINES
The last two weeks have been spent in trying to establish a lin-
guistic bootstrap sequence. We thought that we had devised a good
bootstrap by Fri.15.Jan.1999, but our Amiga Fred Fish 977 version
of Forth returned an error message of "stack is full" and did not
let us key in the entire eight-screen bootstrap sequence. Conse-
quently we have gone back and keyed in only a two-screen sequence.
Now we are ready to write the Forth screens which will search out
the most active concepts in the mindcore array psi{ } and flush
them up into the semantic array uk{ } where LANG-UK will generate
a sentence containing the active concepts.
We have just been held back for quite a few minutes by a desire
to stop using the subroutine name "DEEP-STRUCTURE" of Screen #36
because it is an uncomfortably long name and because we sometimes
have room only for very brief names in our function calls. For
instance, we recently had to change "SHORTTERMMEM" to "STM". Af-
ter going back through the original 26.Nov.1994 Amiga Mind.rexx
http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/mindrexx.html source code, we have
hit upon the idea of changing the name "DEEP-STRUCTURE" to "KBDS"
for "knowledge-base deep-structure." In doing so, we reluctantly
admit that the knowledge base ("KB") in our artificial mind has
its peak or manipulable residence in the interconnections among
the deep-structure concepts of the mindcore array psi{ } below:
/^^^^^^^^^^^\ Mind-grid Arrays{ } in Robot PDAI /^^^^^^^^^^^\
/visual memory\ _________ / auditory \
| /--------|---------\ / LANG-UK \ | memory |
| | recog-|nition | \_________/---|-------------\ |
| ___|___ | | flush-vector| | ________ | |
| /image \ | ____V_ ____V__ | / \ | |
| / percept \ | /psi{ }\------/ uk{ } \----|-/ ear{ } \| |
| \ engrams /---|---/concepts\----/ lexicon \---|-\ phonemes / |
| \_______/ | \________/ \_________/ | \________/ |
We hate being pinned down as to where the knowledge base actually
is, but, once we feel sure about our declaration, it is good em-
phatically to call attention to it with the unequivocal "KBDS".
