1) To attain wide competence:
⊗7 Each Being contains almost-disjoint data.
Each Being has a complex, sophisticated structure.⊗*
2) To permit easy communication:
⊗7 The Beings' knowledge overlaps slightly.
Each Being has the same anatomy, albeit complex.⊗*

PUP: I want any task.
⊗4USER: Write a program which does concept formation⊗*
PUP: I am about to write a program for the task:
⊗1specialized kind of CONCEPT-FORMATION⊗*.
PUP: Give me a proper name for this program.
(I suggest CF or CONCEPT)
⊗4USER: CF⊗*
PUP: Must CF mimic different human subjects?
⊗4USER: No⊗*
PUP: I am temporarily replacing the task
"⊗1specialized kind of CONCEPT-FORMATION⊗*"
by the simpler task:
"⊗1specialized kind of PARTITION-A-DOMAIN⊗*".

PUP: How do we know when to terminate this loop?
⊗4USER: Terminate iff any feature in model-features
is incompatible with scene-features⊗*
PUP: PUP wants USER to type in name for specialized version of CONTRADIC
⊗4USER: Call it IMPOSS⊗*
PUP: Move cursor to IMPOSS type of CONTRADICTS.
I can no longer defer this decision:
A: Contradic. arises from features having probability=1 of occurring.
B: Contradic. arises from features having probability=0 of occurring.
C: Contradiction from features having probability>0&<1 of occurring.
Please type some of: A,B,C; or type: Defer, ?, or Details.
⊗4USER: A, B, and C are all relevant.⊗*
PUP: I recommend that each model's features be structured
(along 1 dimension) into these 3 pieces:
PRESENT: for features having probability=1 of occurring.
ABSENT: for features having probability=0 of occurring.
EITHER: for features with probability other than 0 or 1.
Please type back YES, NO, UNSURE, DETAILS, and/or 3 new names.
⊗4USER: Yes. Call them MUST-BE-PRESENT,
MUSTNOT-BE-PRESENT, MAY-BE-PRESENT.⊗*
PUP: Too long. Nicknamed Must, Mustnot, May.
PUP: Located 3 references to model's features in code generated so far.
In each case, the reference has been replaced by
"(APPEND Must Mustnot May)".
