The Verb-Phrase module flushes out the most active En(glish) verb
along with any most active noun to be the direct object of the verb.
2. The Recall of Verbs is the Key to AI
The robot seed AI is based on a uniquely original
theory of mind
that results
first from posing and then from
answering the question:
How does a mind recall a verb to describe a perceived action?
The necessity of linking multiple image percept engrams (see above)
in the visual memory channel with a single verb stored in audition
led to the insight that an intervening abstract memory channel must
exist in the brain as an area that processes links between senses.
Without such an area, only one engram in a sensory memory channel
could be linked by an associative tag to one single engram in any
other sensory memory channel, and always on a one-to-one basis.
With such an area -- whether you call it an abstract memory channel
or a semantic memory -- not only can multiple engrams in vision
interact logically with a single engram in, say, auditory memory, but
entire superstructures of language, volition and emotion may arise in
response to the genetic call for Mind to evolve on planet Earth and
spread through the parsecs of nearby space as Mind over matter.

5. Analysis of the Modus Operandi
The code above searches backwards in time for le mot juste to be
the verb in a sentence of thought generated by the open source
software implementation of English syntax in the transformational
grammar theory of Noam Chomsky for linguistics. The criterion
for selection is, which of the verbs in the English en array
is momentarily most active as a result of the neuronal process
of spreading activation, central to our default standard model
of the brain-mind?
