 | | Programs that are related heterarchically can address or call upon each other either "up", "down", or "sideways." Moreover, they can do this at many different points in their (potentially independent) functioning. |
 | | Even the "Monitor" program, which is the master program in the trivial sense that it calls the basic parts of the system, has no such view; it does not really monitor what goes on, for this would require receiving continual reports on progress and adjusting the activities of the various specialist programs accordingly. |
 | | The linguistic programs also include definitions of words that are essential to any English dictionary, like "it", "on", "and", and "the", as well as a special procedure for dealing with common word endings, like "-ing", "-ed", and so on. |
