DM: Re: [ML] A Program For Grade One Reading

All words are highly personal and connected to that persons experiences.  A
word is a local event or stimulus which activate the global stored
experiences associated with it.   The associations are weighted histories of
ones past and the recent stimulation created by the current experience.
These associations are interactive and interfering.  Because of the nature
of wavelet processing in the brain and wavelet filtering, the ultimate
results is that probability for a particular interpretation collapses.

There are several ways to accomplish this in a machine.  One way is to use
carbon tetrachloride with a procedure for inputting waves of stimulus into
the spinning container and a sensor at various locations to pickup a binary
out come from the interactions.   Another way is to use laser light with
encode information and sensors to pickup a binary out come from the
interactions.  All of these ways uses wavelets and interaction wavelets to
process and store information.
Currently, this technology is available in a quantized electrostatic wavelet
processing machine know as a Correlational Oppositional Ratio Enhanced
processor.  Which procedure will win the day has yet to be determined.
If you are interested in the technology go to http://turn.to/ai
