Complex Rules |

- The girl saw the dangerous pyramid with the stalactite.
- saw is now read and a new verb instance is created.
- This has the head verb bound to saw.
- The VP done rule ignites leaving both bar one CAs off and
two phrases around.
- The the VP->NPsubj VP rule wins, the NP to is bound to the actor slot
of the verb.
- So differential activation goes to both rules and
the subject rule becomes ignites first (and surpresses the others).
- There is a different rule for each pair of verb and noun instances
in the current system. This is a flaw that needs to be fixed.
- I should be able to do it by binding via active links.
- Later multiple instances are active, and noun instances can
be modified by PPs.
- Also once a slot is filled it is made inactive so it can't be
bound again (conjunction is not handled currently).
- You can also turn off instance (like the girl) after they
can no longer be directly used. (I don't right now).
- Instances are not used as fillers more than once, though
remain active as they can be added to once they're fillers.
