In our JSAI coding over the last few days, we kept noticing
that the activation-level on S-V-O verbs was going to zero
immediately after the generation of a sentence of thought.
It looked obvious to us that something in there was
arbitrarily zeroing out the verbs. Last night we looked into
both Mind.Forth and Mind.html, and we quickly saw that a
verbClear module was zeroing out the verbs in the JSAI.
Before we took a look at the two programs last night,
we mistakenly were assuming that the modern MindForth
was parroting back its first few sentences of
knowledge-base (KB) input, as if "cats eat fish"
would get a response of "CATS EAT FISH". Actually and
felicitously, the response was "FISH WHAT DO FISH DO".
