===================
As a result, Reader Prototype will populate its dictionaries
(Word Dictionary and Phrase Dictionary).
Main memory will keep information about relations between concepts.
(Words and phrases are concepts).
Such relations between concepts mean "Understanding of concept".
====================
When I design Reader prototype I keep in mind Writer Prototype and
Chatter Prototype.

Questions are very welcome.
