I didn't mean to imply that it would be easy. I am saying it is important. Much more important than the crap we get caught up in simply because the tools exist. Apple has a core technology in its text services tools that breaks text into base phonems and is language agnostic. Semantic processing will open up a whole new world to computer application. There are reasonable steps that can be taken right now that are no more absurd than what hypercard was to programming when it was revolutionary twenty some years ago.

Perhaps you could enlighten RunRev and the rest of us "sheep" by providing scripted versions of these functions you'd like to see in the engine? From your description it doesn't sound like it would take much time. > -----Original Message----- > On 21 Aug 2009, at 19:16, Randall Reetz wrote: > >> In addition to syllables, the system should be able to identify the >> following textual chunks: >> Characters >> Phonems >> Words >> Parts of speech (phrases) >> subject/object >> Semantic roots >> Sentences >> Paragraphs >> Sections >> Volumes >> Sets >> Lists >> Multidimentional arrays and nested tables >> Unlimited nested and overlapping hyperlinks and transclussions >> Tempo, pausing, pitch, volume, and percussive contrast >> Ontological association network mapping between any chunk or chunk >> type >> >> A simple, intuitive and robust interface and functional library to >> address and effect these objects at every hierarchy of the >> grammatical stack. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Revolution training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
