A SIMPLE IDEA (CONNECTIONS)

                                A SIMPLE IDEA (CONNECTIONS) 

Take any 2 words (W1 and W2) in language. 

Write a program such that -

• (Firstly feed the English (regular and/or scientific) dictionary into the machine).

• Generate the meaning of W1 from the dictionary. It will be in terms of a set of words. Generate the meaning of each of those words from the dictionary. And so on. Continue this till the program reaches/finds W2. 

• Record the node-words along each path.

• The string : meanings of the words nestedly substituted inside each other’s meanings, along the path connecting W2 and W1, will be the explicit semantic relation between W2 and W1. 

What is the use of this?

Basically, finding if there is any and the relation between 2 concepts or entities in the world. 

1. Discovery : is there a, and if yes what, is the relation between ‘fire’ and a ‘cyclotron’?

2. Inventions : This will lead to creativity in general - scientific (what is the relation between a ‘wire’ and a ‘screw’?) as well as artistic (Can a ‘jungle’ and a ‘doctor’ be related?)
