Abstract:
A method for the universal machine translation of arbitrary languages, comprising the steps of:identifing high-level grammatical constructions of an arbitrary source language word stream; constructing a grammatical world model of the syntax of the high-level grammatical construction arbitrary source language word stream based only on epistemic instances of the source language; decomposing the arbitrary source language into only its epistemic instances and an arbitrary target language into only its epistemic instances, wherein the source language epistemic instances semantically correspond to the target language epistemic instances; translating the epistemic instances of the source language word stream into semantically equivalent epistemic instances of the target language with substantially no loss in meaning; constructing a grammatical world model of the syntax of a target language high-level word stream using only the epistemic instances of the target language; and generating a translated target language word stream; wherein each of the epistemic instances comprises a pair of objects of transformation in the source language's or the target language's word stream, and a transformer of the pair of objects.
