ex: This is a pencil.
The subject pronoun 'this' is coupled to a physical object; therefore, assume that the speaker
is presenting or pointing to the (local) object. In my experiments, a batch file calls an image capture,
and the image and the 'complement' are stored together as: 'seen_xxxxxxxx.jpg be @pencil'
ex: (It is raining.)
This/that/it is true.
The subject pronoun is coupled to an abstract complement, so the subject is not a thing but an action.
That action is the last mentioned verb. (In this case stored the same as a 'yes'; ie, increase the trust
of the verb in: 'now rain progressive'
ex: That is the moon.
The subject pronoun 'that' is coupled to a physical object; so, assume that the speaker is
pointing to a distal object. (My experiment can't image process to extract the pointer.)
