As we create an artificial intelligence that thinks in the ancient Latin
language of the Roman Empire, we change English mind-modules into Latin
mind-modules. In the LaVerbPhrase module for Latin verb-phrases, we need to
program how the Mens Latina negates a Latin verb. Latin simply inserts the
adverb "non" before a Latin verb to negate it, without breaking the verb
down into an auxiliary and the infinitive form as English does. Whereas
English says "Money does not smell", Latin simply says "Pecunia non olet."
So we need to adjust the LaVerbPhrase code to skip calling for an auxiliary
verb.
We make the necessary modifications for negating Latin verbs in the
LaVerbPhrase() module, and then we test by entering "tu non amas qualia".
The Mens Latina responds adequately with "EGO NON AMO QUALIA". Then we
double-test for not only negation but for using a verb with no stated
subject, other than the inflectional ending. We enter "non amas qualia" and
the AI, smarter than the average ursus (bear), responds "EGO NON AMO
QUALIA". There are subsequently a few problems with verb-forms, but today
we concentrate on the negation of verbs.
Next we debug the function of the LaVerbGen() module for generating Latin
verb-forms. Since LaVerbGen() requires the proper parameters of number and
person for generating a verb, we tighten up the loading of the snu
subject-number variable and we obtain the following exchange with the Mens
Latina.
