My scaffolding learns. It remembers assertions you make, and it will parrot them back. It checks to see if the assertions you make fits into its beleif network before it actually commits them to memory. It can be told things like "aluminum is a mass noun", and then will start using "aluminum" instead of "the aluminum" or "an aluminum" in future sentences. Sure, I hard-coded the part where "mass nouns don't require an article", that's part of the scaffolding. But that's temporary. That's because the thing isn't yet smart enough to understand what the sentence "mass nouns don't require an article" means. --linas ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=60599515-d71478
