  Thank you, Mr/Dr/Prof/ Donald Tees, for this and other bene-notations.

  (My shrink father told me long ago that coining neologisms ^^^^^^^^^^
  as I have just done, is a sign of mental non-wellbeing, but I needed
  a word to refer to ... yes, that's it!  Your *intercessions*.)

  The simple ASCII diagram above is actually the distillation unto
  barest essence of the many years of the "theory phase" of my AI
  project http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/ AI for Mobile Robots, which
  is now with Mind.forth in the "implementation phase."

  Soon, when Mind.forth "quickens" or comes full circle in its loop of
  robot functionality [ input... response... reentry... input... ],
  I will haunt the comp.robotics.misc newsgroup and encourage those
  clever unstoppable tinkerers and robot warriors to try out Mind.forth
  on their robot creations -- many of which already run Forth.

  Right now I am looking for Amiga Forth programmers who will visit
  the Amiga-only Gramma's BBS at Tel. 425-744-1254 near Seattle WA USA
  and download the latest native Amiga Mind.forth from the "Files" area
  and its subsection "43: Programming" -- where I intend to put more
  releases of native Amiga Mind.forth in the future.

  Then the proof of the diagram/theory will be in the robots.  -  ATM
