5.6.3 Fifth review of the requirements for information processing

We introduced "inner language" as a method for converting perception into action. The method was shown as effective for compression, thus extending memory.

• We conjecture a "subject verb object" structure
• The subject identifies who is doing the action. An example is the hen in imprinting. This identification is important both in perception and for memory recall.
• The verb identifies the action, such as walking (for imprinting).
• The object may identify a target or some other context. A kernel of food may be such a target for a chick.

This format for information representation supports the conversion from perception to action which is required for imitation

• Alternative representations that support the conversion from vision to action are not readily available
• Up to this point, the author has not been able to think of a reasonable alternative

This format is compatible with the information processing functions discussed earlier, such as simple learning
