Claim 8:
8. A method of processing as defined in claim 1 which comprises steps: providing an experience and knowledge data base wherein said experience and knowledge data base is comprised of directed graphs comprised of nodes with associated clause implying word sense-numbers and/or with associated processes organized into paths of said nodes wherein such paths have associated purpose relations such that said nodes have access conditions which determine zero or more next said nodes on zero or more said paths that are accessible, providing a communication manager in said apparatus, purpose relation path identification processing to identify zero or more said paths from nodes associated with said clause implying word sense numbers with reference to said experience and knowledge data base such that said access conditions of said nodes on said identified paths are met such that said identified paths are associated with said natural language associated with said electronically encoded data and are utilized by said communication manager to provide communication and/or to start a process.
