The AI's world is "letter" based.

A SMALL TREE

On awakening, this will look like X_QVTEE XRYY until words are understood.

Question: do spaces qualify as characters or are they preprogrammed breaks?

I believe they should be considered characters like any other.

If the AI learns to interpret these itself, then it will be that much more flexible.

So establishing the inherited traits vs learned behavior should be fairly simple

Innate Abilities

• Recognition of characters
• Recognition of incoming vs outgoing characters

Learned

• Recognition of groups of characters

• Note: not "words" this is to encompass phrases… which allows cepts to be more than just  words - they can be complete conceptual entities. For example: The phrase "I don't know"
• Is a single conceptual entity

[11/20/2005 This page like the last is a bit off the rails. White space will be treated like any  other character, but it should be taught that white-space = word break right away to allow  for greater ability to learn.

Innate abilities vs learned behavior should be established, but there is a third layer which is  "primary learning" or learned behavior that is taught in order to facilitate learning. It's like  grade school for AI.
