About  Mindlog is an experimental system for programming in nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The words are those of a lexical database (for which WordNet3.0 is base). Intuitively, Mindlog is an interpolation between these two well accepted systems: - Open Mind Common Sense features vague content and limited precision rules, both cannot be revised but voting can influence content's importance
But Mindlog goes a bit further: content and rules "programs" can be revised and several versions of them can be processed (limited only by machine resources). In Mindlog a program is called script and computation is expressed without describing control flow. Scripts are stored in the lexical database and can be recalled by spelling one of their words (in the same way as the WordNet browser works). The words in a Mindlog script are colligated with their synset in the lexical database. A primitive colligational verb think of removes ambiguities from polysemous words. More peculiar colligational words specialize on the think_of primitive. Besides of colligational expressions, a Mindlog script contains one or more clauses in plain English (natural language base of our lexical database). The words in clauses are transformed (think of rule, idea, thought) by the colligational expressions of their Mindlog script, that is to say: clauses are instantiated in such contexts in which they play a role. All clauses in the Mindlog system are shared by the scripts in which they occur, in the same way as words are shared by the synsets in which they occur. Bugs: the terms used for describing this project where carefully checked against the WordNet3.0 lexical database. Please do not hesitate contacting the project owner with terminology related questions and suggestions, also with bugs you found. UsageThe Mindlog system can be used for entering and revising Mindlog scripts and for asking 5W+1H questions. Mindlog attempts to answer questions by recalling clauses of scripts and evaluating their colligational expressions. A question (and the clauses which helped with the answer) makes the Mindlog system peculiarly curious: by abstracting over the clauses and together with the colligational transformations as schema, the Mindlog system in turn begins to ask questions. This process is illustrated with a couple of examples starting at the Examples wiki page. More about the Mindlog experiment starts at the Excogitation wiki page and more about colligation starts at the Intellection wiki page.
