Hi Lightspeed.

WN is the function in Hal called word net, it contains information that Hal uses in the dictionary function and many more.

Ouch - I tried a reply last week but went over my login time limit and lost it..

Logical thinking requires a great deal of processing that comes so easy to us.

My A.I. handles statements in 3 steps:
 1. translation to mentalese  (this removes pronouns and determiners, leaving activated only the 'urls'
     of the valid subjects)
 2. verification of whether the info is already known
 3. integration: if not known, then add to memory (based on trust)

The memory is a list of lists, rather than a narrative.  For example:

subject: All thinking
 relation: may be logical
 relation: may require processing
  determiner: great deal of    (adjective unit_noun reference)
 function: if logical then require..

subject: processing of thinking    (possession of thinking)
 relation: come
 adverb: easy   (easily)
  intensifier: so
 dative: to us

If asked a question, then step 3 changes from integration to
 3. extraction: yes, no, don't know, or fill in query pronoun
