    ABSTRACT:: In order to represent the conceptual information underlying a
               natural language sentence, a conceptual structure has been
               established that uses the basic actor-action-object
               framework. It was the intent that these structures have only
               one representation for one meaning, regardless of the
               semantic form of the sentence being represented. Actions were
               reduced to their basic parts so as to effect this. It was
               found that only fourteen basic actions were needed as
               building blocks by which all verbs can be represented. Each
               of these actions has a set of actions or states which can be
               inferred when they are present.
