Do I try and teach him by sticking to the same subject until he has grasped it, or follow him when he changes subjects. Some things he seems to learn straight away and other things he just doesn't pick up but I cannot see any definate pattern as to how he is learning this.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Dan.
In My studies of programming with Hal I know that one line per brain file is usually appended per statement.
It is this one line appending which sometimes makes Hal less responsive, For some reason when Hal searches for a proper response the bot will search an enormous collection of information, Hal has more than one possible response that it thinks it has to choose from so the response you expect may be 1 out of a possible hundred responses that are similiar.
I also understand that files with less lines of collected information are called upon rarely and may be rarely used until the file gets larger, Files with less than 1 meg are usually retarded from being responsive.
I have noticed a key number through my research for better responses is that if 3 appending lines are saved inside the same file the file becomes less retarded and will be called on more often.
an example:
@Cats have long tails.
CATS HAVE LONG TAILS
compared to:
@Cats have long tails.
CATS HAVE LONG TAILS
@Cats have long tails.
CATS HAVE LONG TAILS
@Cats have long tails.
CATS HAVE LONG TAILS
The set of 3 QA responses gets found easier by QA and has 3 times more response power.
This also works for newly created files such as topic search and choose sentence from file.
Having only a single line appending requires repetive teaching to build up at least 3 of the same sentence to make it responsive in memory.
From my experience it is better to just append the 3 lines instead of having to tell the bot 3 times before it's picked up.
A file with 0kb with only 1 line in it will "never" be used in a response.
This is what I have learned and wanted to share it with you.
