You must narrow the possible options down by defining the data
structures, key concepts, and general conventions to be used by the
specific system, before you can hope to produce this simple
description. Otherwise you're proposing to write an entire new manual
for Jess, because you're leaving things wide open. The Jess language
is a reasonable sized and complete programming language, and
describing everything it can do basically means teaching the whole of
that language. The only way to simplify it is to choose a subset of
the possiblities, and doing that is going to take some knowledge
engineering.
