چکیده
Ilya Geller [email protected] The UniSearch-4.6 program created by the company LexiClone Inc. for seeking out textual information is intended to search for Reality as well as Truth. While running NIST TREC QA 2003 and 2004, virtually all answers obtained by LexiClone were Realities. Philosophy. The program is a realization of the philosophy of Cynicism, the foundations of which were laid by those contemporaries of Plato and Aristotle, Ecclesiastes and Jeremiah. At the basis of Cynicism is the idea that there is a world of change in time and a world without change in eternity. In other words, everything that exists changes in time. And what isn't in time is unchanging in eternity. Reality. Reality is what doesn't exist in time but exists in the eternity of immutability. This means that everything that exists in completed time – in the past, in the present, or even the future if it is in completed time – is Reality. Therefore, the answers to all Factoid questions are a search for Reality – a search for what is completed and no longer changing. Truth. Subjective opinions, however, are Truths; and subjective Truths are always opinions1. Indeed, opinions change! As a result, the search for Truth is always subjective: LexiClone Inc. has to know who needs the opinion – which context and subtext the seeker exists in. In other words, one can affirm that the search for the semantic meaning of any question (other than a Factoid one) is impossible without knowing who needs that Truth. Cynicism in Practice. Cynicism looks at the whole world through the prism of the Theory of Internal Relations: everything that happens in the Universe is always being interpreted through changes in the internal constitution of a subject and can only be evaluated subjectively. For this purpose one uses the preposition "in", which always and simultaneously corresponds to the adjective "interior" – in all human languages, without exception! Indeed, the remarkably frequent use of the adjective "interior" in the most commonly encountered predicative definitions in all languages leads one to the following thought: in the structure of predicative definitions the
