When the OldConcept module recognizes a known German noun, normally
the "mfn" gender of that noun is detected and stored once again as
a fresh conceptual engram for that noun. However, today we have
learned that in OldConcept we must store a zero value for the recognition
of forms of "EIN" as the German indefinite article, because the word "EIN"
has no intrinsic gender and only acquires the gender of its associated noun.
When we insert the corrective code into the OldConcept module, finally we
witness the German Wotan AI engaging in rational thought by means of inference
when we input "eva ist eine frau", or "Eva is a woman." The German AI makes
a silent inference about Eva and calls the AskUser module to ask us users,
"HAT EVA EIN KIND", which means in English, "Does Eva have a child?"
Next we must work on KbRetro to positively confirm or negatively adjust
the knowledge base in accordance with the answer to the question.
