2. What the beVerb module does

The beVerb module is called by the Predicate module to depart
from the default subject-verb-object (SVO) format and to generate
instead a sentence with a noun or a pronoun as subject, a verb
of being such as "am" or "is" or "are", and a predicate nominative
noun or an adjective or an adverb to complete sentences such as:

I am Andru.
Socrates is mortal.
You are here.

\ The beVerb module aims for the following entelechy goals.
\ [ ] It shall possibly take the form of an infinitive. 
\ [ ] It shall possibly transit to a noun, adjective or adverb.
\ [ ] It shall use an intransitive verb without a direct object.
\ beVerb is a module for letting the chain of thought escape 
\ from generating a subject-verb-object (SVO) sentence based on 
\ a transitive verb and for generating instead a sentence of 
\ thought much freer in form by virtue of using a verb of being.

Beyond the original AI4U textbook and the quasi-chapter updates
of the AI mind-module documentation webpages, Wikipedia is where
thousands of volunteers constantly update and improve the free AI
textbook by editing AI background articles for each AI4U chapter.
These Wikipedia articles expand on the beVerb mind-module.
