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
