I'll try to explain it more.. Suppose you have a lot of processes, all containing some production rule(s). They communicate with messages. They all should get cpu time somehow. Some processes just do low-level responses, some monitor other processes, etc. Some are involved in looking at the wor

we already have programming languages. we want computers to understand natural language because we think: if you know the syntax, the semantics follow easily. you still need the code to process the object the text are about. so it will always be a crippled NL understanding without general intellig
