Queries are formed by adding a question mark to any rule construction or
by using 'who', 'what' or 'describe' followed by a subject. ART-CEE
reduces these queries into subjects or subject/predicate pairs in the
same way that rules are reduced.
If the query reduces to a subject/predicate pair, ART-CEE searches for
all possible connections between subject and predicate. If more than
one rule is used to make that connection, ART-CEE asks you to verify that
each intermediate rule is true in the current case. If all rules
involved are verified, then a conclusion is drawn, and you are asked
whether or not to add that conclusion to ART-CEE's store of knowledge.
If a 'who', 'what' or 'describe' query is entered, ART-CEE searches for
all immediately-known conclusions about the subject. No searching
across multiple rules occurs. No assumptions are made. And ART-CEE's
knowledge base will not expand.
