A processor (47) uses a concepts memory area (10) to interpret received inputs and to generate coherent contents-related output communication in text or fluent speech. The processor (47) uses concepts, each being a part of program code and a linked basic communication element. A parallel recursive communication matrix manager (10(a) ) is used in processing of the concepts and reference is made to a conception, learning, associative, and utilisation manager (50) to assist in understanding inputs, learning and enhancing the knowledge base, and in developing outputs. The basic communication elements may trigger associated speech resources (24) which are retrieved and processed downstream, or rule-based speech outputted via a synthesiser (63). <IMAGE> |
