In this paper we present the architectural concepts of highly complex knowledge based system dubbed as the Universal Knowledge Processing System (UKPS) could be thought of as a Wisdom Machine (WM) capable of solving any problem simple or difficult with the help of its knowledge bases. The Universal Knowledge Processing Machine is in turn formed of several Knowledge Processing Systems (KPS) conn...
