generateClarificationMultipleMeanings

public static Predicate generateClarificationMultipleMeanings(Symbol actor,
 Symbol speaker,
 Term semantics)

Create an itk predicate from an ambiguous semantics predicate. Expecting semantics predicate of the form "semantics(boundOption1, boundOption2, ...)" and generating an itk predicate of the form "itk(actor, mean(speaker, or(boundOption1, boundOption2)))"

Parameters:

actor - single actor

semantics - "semantics(boundOption1, boundOption2, ...)"

Returns:

Predicate of the form "itk(actor, mean(speaker, or(boundOption1, boundOption2)))"

generateFailureUnknownMeaning

public static Predicate generateFailureUnknownMeaning(Symbol actor,
 Term suppSemantics)

Create a Predicate representing the failure semantics in the case of unbound free-variable(s) in the supplemental semantics of an Utterance.

Parameters:

actor -

suppSemantics - "suppSemantics(semantics(...), semantics()...)"

Returns:

Predicate of form "not(know(actor, meaningOf(...)))"
