The role of the nounPhrase module is to flush out the most active
noun in the English array En, regardless of whether that noun
is serving as the subject or the direct object of a verb in the
transformational grammar implementation of Chomskyan linguistics.
2. Rapid Change of nounPhrase Syntax Node Outputs
The AI theory of mind maintains that the same nounPhrase software
will flush out a subject-noun at one moment, and an object-noun
just a split second later, as activations vary within the En English
lexical array.
Thus a rigid structure (syntax) controls a fluid phenomenon of a
stream of rapidly fluctuating thoughts and ideas. The concepts
interact in the Psi mindcore and are constantly being reified as
named objects (nouns) and as named actions (verbs) or states of
being (also verbs) in the semantic memory of the English lexicon.
The rigid linguistic superstructure of Chomskyan transformational
grammar reaches down into the lexical vocabulary in the semantic
memory and flushes out the momentarily most highly activated noun
or verb or other part of speech to be included in a new sentence
of thought that forms in the auditory memory channel. Since the
AI Mind perceives its own phonemic output surfacing in audition,
the generated sentence of thought reenters the Mind in audition.
The auditory memory channel is a self-perceiving memory channel.

5. Analysis of the Modus Operandi
The code above cycles backwards in time through the English lexical
array En, searching for the most active English noun -- the result of
interaction among the deep-structure concepts in the Psi mindcore.
