2. Purpose of the AI4U Textbook RuNounPhrase Mind Module

RuNounPhrase finds a Russian noun or pronoun to serve as the subject of a sentence or as the direct or indirect object of a verb being thought by RuVerbPhrase. RuNounPhrase may also call RuPrep to insert a preposition or RuAdjective to insert a Russian adjective describing a noun.

3. Function of the AI4U Textbook RuNounPhrase Module

For the subject of a sentence of thought, RuNounPhrase typically finds the most active noun-concept in the Psy array of concepts. The Russian verb-phrase module RuVerbPhrase may call the RuNounPhrase module for both an indirect object of a verb and for a direct object. If an AI Mind embodied in a robot can recognize and name objects with a VisRecog module, the noun naming the recognized object may go directly into the slot for a direct object in a sentence being generated. The robot might say, "Я ВИЖУ СОБАКУ" for "I see a dog." VisRecog may first identify the concept being recognized and then call RuNounPhrase to express the noun of the concept in a thought.

When the RuNounPhrase module must recall a noun or a pronoun in response to an external query, such as, "Who are you," first the SpreadAct module will use the $qv1psi variable to find and activate the needed noun or pronoun and the $qv2psi variable to identify the verb associated with the target noun, first in the query itself, and then in the response to the query. Since both the noun and the verb are combined in the search for memories responding to the query, the AI will not recall some random statement about the subject of the query, but will instead recall any available memory expressing both the subject of the query and the verb expressed in the query. For the query "Who are you", the AI must find both the ego-concept "I" and impute a non-spoken Russian be-verb correspnding to "am" in English, as in "I am."
