An emulated intelligence system includes an input for receiving
information in the form of a query and a parsing system for parsing the
query into grammatical elements. A database of individual concepts is
included, each concept defining relationships between the concept and
other concepts in the database. A conceptualizing system defines a list
of related concepts associated with each of the parsed elements of the
query and the embodied relationships associated therewith and a volition
system then determines if additional concepts are associated with an
action that may be associated with pre-stored criteria. An action system
is then provided for defining an action to be taken based upon the
relationships defined by the conceptualizing system.
