Software Mechanisms of the Content Kinds, Content kind has its own computational Mechanism. For a concept it is computational pattern . between the type provided by memory and raw data provided by the interface component. For an indexical it is . at a STAR value of the on-board orientation system (OBOS). For a name it is the address of a ‘

Grammatical Disambiguation,s linear time (TCS’92). The only way to increase DBS complexity above linear would be a recursive ambiguity in the hear mode. In natural language, however, recursive ambiguity is prevented by grammatical disambiguation.
Agent-Based Memory as an On-Board Database, medical, trade, banking, insurance, and tax data. In natural agents, cognitive content is stored in, and retrieved from, the brain’s memory. In artificial DBS agents, natural memory is reconstructed as an on-board database.
