Lisa
====
## A Simple Lisa Example
Here a Lisa is programmed to think she is Jack from various fairy tales.
[http://www.danielstern.ca/lisa]
## Short Term Memory
- Prevents Lisa from saying the same thing twice, rambling, etc.
- When Lisa says something, she stores the thought in her short term memory.
Before Lisa says something, she can see in her short term memory if she's said something.
```javascript
if (brain.memory.short.recall(thought)) {
brain.host.thinks("Oh, I just said that, didn't I... ");
return;
};
```
### `recall(thought)`
Returns true if Lisa remembers saying the thought.
brain.ponder('merlin');
// LISA: Merlin is a wizard.
brain.memory.short.recall('Merlin is a wizard.')
// true;
### `scan(word)`
Returns true if Lisa remembers having said that word at all within her short term memory.
brain.memory.short.scan('profession');
// false;
brain.ponder();
// LISA: My profession is spokesmatrix, honey.
brain.memory.short.recall('profession');
// true;
### `remember(thought)`
Lisa remembers a thought for future recollection
brain.memory.short.remember('kill bill');
// lisa remembers to kill bill;
## Long Term Memory:
Lisa's long term memories and personality that persist past the current session. Can use a database or local storage.
+ Lisa can add new ideas and connections to her lexicon with her long term memory
+ Lisa can remember things you were talking about in the past and reminisce about them
Long term memory is where Lisa stores **stories** which are the basis of her neuro-computational matrix.
## Lexicon
The Lexicon is an interchangeable module containing interrelating words and ideas.
```javascript
var Lexicon = {
things:[
{
word:'orange',
extends:['fruit'],
plural:'oranges',
},
]
}
```
### Fetching Words from Levixon
```
lexicon.getWord('road')
/*
{
word:'road',
plural:'roads',
extends:['place'],
}
*/
```
### Things
Things in the lexicon represent nouns and are usually the subject or object in a moment.
```javascript
{
word:'knight',
gender:'male',
extends:['warrior','person','soldier'],
plural:'knights',
}
```
### Attributes
Attributes are applied to things in the lexicon.
```javascript
{
word:'brave',
when:[
{action:'kill',object:'monster',applies:'subject'}
],
form:'adjective'
synonyms:['heroic','fearless']
}
```
