Thinking Solutions decides to suspend additional R&D work on Project Turing to focus on the creation of a product to help school students to learn about their language. This capability is required for the other programs successfully piloted - including language translation. The first product will apply to the English language. The program's structure will utilise object oriented concepts to enable re-use across future products.

Thinking Solutions is currently undertaking a review of its business model to consider the best applications to bring to market first. This web site has also been simplified, removing many of the theoretical pages which provide the source for the proposed book. The current business plan is to "productise" the grammar engine to produce translation machines and teaching aids for the English language.

The first successful differentiation of a word into its appropriate meaning has taken place, identifying a number of meanings of the verb "to run".

Project Turing has resulted in the successful parsing of a test set of English sentences and is proving to be both speedy and robust. A set of additional patterns representing locations, horror movies and Australian prime ministers demonstrates the system's ability to parse sentences with additional semantic content.

We are back in 2006 after a period of focus on development efforts.
March 2006
Project Turing has been initiated. The intent of this project is to produce a machine to converse with. The project will be conducted in 3 phases: (a) the creation of a parsing engine to take English sentences and convert them into their grammatical constituents, (b) the generation of sentences from a set of words that are consistent with grammatical requirements and (c) the storage of semantic details to enable conversation.

The web site refresh is nearing completion. We'd appreciate it if you would please keep providing suggestions about the way we have organised the site! It seems independent views help us to present the material most effectively.
8 November 2005
The plan remains to complete the current phase of web updates by 14 November. A number of changes should become apparent including the easier navigation and reduced page duplication.
30 October 2005
We have added a number of additional articles previously submitted for publication. These will be incorporated in a simpler format into the web site moving forward to reduce the amount of existing duplication. At the moment, the best way to get a high-level understanding of patomic theory is to read the home page, the general page and then the introduction to patoms page.
26 October 2005
This site is currently being redeveloped to better communicate the objectives of Thinking Solutions and to provide a clearer picture of the new brain model - patomic theory.
