About Word-Sensibility
Quadranym: a paradigm made up of four words acting as facets of a word.
Facets are dimensions of words representing four basic categories or roles.
The fundamental units of the Word-Sensibility Model are called Quadranyms.
Word-Sensibility is about metaphoric relations, commonsense
grounding and simulating the human ability to sense dynamic
relations between words in text. The aim is to model dynamic
sense response and metaphoric and normative responsiveness.

4. Reference Frames & Quadranyms

EROS
A Q reference frame consists of the word-topic (i.e., headword: e.g.,
energy), and the zero-point word (i.e., anchor or source word: e.g.,
motion), and the coordinate word (i.e., target word: e.g., matter), and
two words that define the x and y axes (i.e., dependent y: e.g., size and
independent x: e.g., weight variables). The x and y variables can change
between modes of measure to better align with responsive conditions.
⢠A unit of responsiveness is a bias, an assumption about a concept.
⢠The assumption for energy: any variance of motion targets matter.
⢠x-y variables are modes of measure: complementarity and polarity.
⢠The project is about abstracting normative responses for machines.

Nested Matrix
Each Layer is a Quadranym.
Layers Form a Nested System.
Each layer may represent an aspect of a âcompleteâ concept. The key is about how
different domains such as, spatial and emotional might correspond e.g., to be in-
doors and to be in-love will share basic spatial units. This is one goal of the model.
Spatial Orientation Matrix
Layers aim to move quickly between general and relevant viewpoints.

Reference Frames & The Zero-Point
I
The orientation of a quadranym reference frame represents a viewpoint and a self identification opportunity.
A Reference frame is a virtual organismic response to objective circumstances.
The most basic principle of reference frames is about orientation.
7. 7
EROS
⢠âI will know x as soon as I walk through the door.â
Consider the statementâŚ
Reference frames deal with source and target conditions. For instance, if we consider the agentâs
source condition as being about the agentâs initial position such as, in or out, then clearly there is
an unavoidable choice between the two positions. It can be either-or. Reference frames aim to
anchor on âactual-source-conditionsâ: a source that acts less like a variable and more like a constant.
The Actual Source = The Zero-Point of Reference Frames.

EROS
Spatial Domain: Find best orientation to target x.
The actual source is not about predicting whether the agent is in or
out or predicting what x can be. Itâs about finding virtual grounding
i.e., an effective orientational constant for word-topics, such as, space.

Consider the term void (i.e., emptiness). Space: Actual Source = Void.
Void acts as the origin or constant for this reference frame of space.
Void = infinite mode
Void = finite mode
Space Frame: The assumption is that any variance of void targets spatial-object potentials (e.g., obstacles).

We call the orientation to a situation the Dynamical
Context. It is different from the Situational Context.
Situational Context: Deals with Prediction
Dynamical Context: Deals with Orientation
Each reference frame provides an orientation based
on the dynamic sense provided by the text. Words
and sentences are mapped to reference frames. The
reference frames then calibrate to the situation.

Quadranym Reference Frames
Words of a sentence are mapped to different
quadranyms (virtual units of responsiveness.)
The responsiveness of units to conditions are virtual adaptations to the environment.
Reference frames aim to move between general and relevant viewpoints of a situation.

⢠The Target Variable is about the particular situation of a word-topic (Defaults to exclusive/multiplicity principle).
⢠Source conditions tend to represent the occurrent principles.
⢠Target conditions tend to represent the measurable changes.

21. Model: Agent Aligning with World EROS
Q analysis has general-principles that essentially provide
spatial and temporal defaults for Q categories and roles.
1. Quadranym states represent temporal changes i.e., becoming.
2. Quadranym modes represent spatial changes i.e., measuring.
3. Active-actual state represents self orientation.
4. Passive-potential state represents target variables.
5. Active-potential mode represents potential differences.
6. Passive-actual mode represent the actual differences.
(Note: active is resource from which to-align while passive is resource to which is-aligned)

Discrete Q systems work together to improve orientational data. Topical
interoperability is the ability to adopt or reject the topical orientations of
other systems. Competitive performance comparisons advance schemes.
(Note: Each unit shares their attributes with the other units. Only positive and negative can flip
polarity while for instance, expansive and reductive can not i.e., this means that expansive can
align with negative or positive attributes. Aligning dimensions is quickest way to share attributes.

There are many ways to render quadranyms and arrange their
systems. In this presentation our goal was to relay basic ideas.
There is Much More to Explore
The aim is to model an agentâs internal responses to
external occurrences at nested levels in the system.
