  • Patent number: 5721938
    Abstract: A program is provided for organizing a natural language, such as English, into binary units of two basic elements, Nounness and Verbness, which combine in two idea word patterns, called Primary Image and Conditional Image, and two Detail word patterns, called Process Detail and Background Detail. These two basic elements, Nounness and Verbness, function binarily within the program, either in combination for the two Image word patterns or separately for the two Detail word patterns. All word terns, except the verb-in-tense in the two Image word patterns, function binarily within the program in one of two positions: as Nounness, called Nesting, or as modifiers, called Qualifying. Since meaning in an English sentence is determined solely by word and word pattern location, binary units can be created which allow meaning to be changed by moving words or word patterns from one location to another, called Flipping.
