Scripts? Again off the cuff, real scripts are made of scenes – but I don’t think Shank’s scripts had anything to do with scenes.
What I’m talking about here – it should be stressed – is a fundamentally revolutionary approach to language/conceptual systems - viewing them not as codes/dictionaries/databases/networks but as imaginative/ figurative scene-based (and by extension, script-based) thought.

The big deal in perception is not so much “object recognition” as “scene analysis”. I’ve discussed this in the past – without realising that the latter is a standard term in robotics. When you analyse a scene, you perceive a structure to that scene whether it’s THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT or THERE IS A BOOK ON THE TABLE. You perceive a relationship between objects in that scene. (here are infinite possible perceived structures – relationships between the objects - for any given scene.) So scene analysis is basically scene structure-ing. The second thought is that the basic sentence structure is a scene analysis/scene structure. Sentences gradually become ever more complex – laying one scene over another : THE BOOK [I WAS READING IN THE BATH'] IS ON THE TABLE and referring not just to individual but whole classes of scene BOOKSHOPS USUALLY SET OUT SOME BOOKS ON TABLES But the *basic* sentence structure is a scene structure.
