"Mann developed a conceptual parser that identified the "feel" of 
Aesop's Fables, which were deemed "simple and short enough to represent 
as conceptual graph data structures".

His algorithm was based on Plutchick's Wheel of Emotions, which 
illustrated emotions as a colour wheel and disallowed mutually exclusive 
states - like joy and sadness - from being experienced simultaneously.

The machine freely associated three stories: The Thirsty Pigeon; The Cat 
and the Cock; and The Wolf and the Crane.

When queried on the association, the machine responded: "I felt sad for 
the bird.""
