2. Purpose of the EnAuxVerb Mind Module

The EnAuxVerb module for English auxiliary verbs serves the purpose of fetching strictly defined verb-forms of auxiliary verbs from the auditory memory channel of the AI Mind. Each verb-form being fetched is strictly defined with respect to person and number, which are made available to the EnAuxVerb module as global variables loaded with the appropriate value by the mind-module calling the EnAuxVerb module.

3. Algorithm of EnAuxVerb English Auxiliary Verb Module

3.1. Simple function: negating an ordinary verb form

3.1.a. The EnVerbPhrase module has a sequence of code devoted to the negating of English verb-forms, as in the famous sentence translated from the original German of Albert Einstein: "God does not play dice with the universe." The same sentence is included in the AI MindBoot sequence as an example of verb-negation in general. Since the verb being negated will be expressed as an infinitive form, that is, a form without a personal, inflected ending, a form of the auxiliary verb "DO" must be selected to carry the information of person and number.

3.1.b.

3.2. Typical function: combining with infinitive to ask a question.

3.2.a. The AskUser module is called from another mind-module like InFerence to ask the human user a question seeking a yes-or-no confirmation or denial of an assertion made by logical inference. EnAuxVerb supplies the required form of the auxiliary verb "DO" for asking the question.

3.3.a. The AI MindMaintainer has the option of fetching auxiliary verbs only from the MindBoot sequence where the parameters of person and grammatical number are presumed to be solidly stored and never corrupted. This trick is accomplished by using the $vault value as the start of the backwards search from "time equals vault" to "time equals zero" in the auditory array. In a perfectly functioning AI Mind, all forms of auxiliary verbs would always be stored with perfect spelling and with the perfect formulation of array-parameters denoting the important parameters of person and number. Since code under development may have instances of data-corruption or errors introduced by users, the AI coder may cheat, as it were, by relying on the auxiliary verb forms already stored accurately in the MindBoot sequence.
