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	In each case, the reference has been replaced by 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)".
