Comment: The rule V
/
x
V corresponds to the relation between a subject sentence and its higher
verb in English. The relation is extrapropositional, as indicated by the different
prn
values of the
output. Therefore, the values resulting from cross-copying must include the
prn
value of the source
proposition. The rule is opaque because the first input pattern is assigned an additional
fnc
attribute
in the output. The rule cross-copies the core values matched by
α
and
β
into the
fnc
attribute of
the first verb and the
arg
attribute of the second verb. The rule 1 (N
V) in the RP allows adding
a subject to the first (lower) V, while the rules 2 (N
\
V), 11 (A
\
V), 13 (V
\
x
V), and 4 (A
|
V) allow
adding a nominal, prepositional, or sentential object, and an adverbial modifier to either clause.

Comment: The extrapropositional rule V

x
V corresponds to the relation between an object sentence
and its higher verb in English. Assuming X
=
NIL, the only difference of this rule from rule 12
(V
/
x
V) is the
non-initial
position of
α
in the
arg
slot of the second verb, indicating the role of an
object. The RP omits all rules which do not match a V, because they cannot connect to V
\
x
V.

N corresponds to the relation between a relative clause

V corresponds to an extrapropositional coordination in English. It is trans-

nc

and the

Comment: The Final State of the LA-content grammar includes all output states of rules 1-16.
Under normal circumstances (8.1.2), the agent's cognition will select (i) one
concept interpretation for an elementary raw input, (ii) one proplet shell, and
(iii) one elementary signature for relating two proplets resulting from (ii).
However, as witnessed by the phenomenon of optical illusions, a given raw
input may have more than one interpretation.
