Reading about the Jumbo program was interesting to me. I was very surprised to read about how Jumbo has no dictionary to match the words up to. When I first read about the purpose of Jumbo I thought to myself that it will need a dictionary of all English words in order to function properly. However, once reading about how they are going to construct Jumbo by making it like a human mental process, I don't think it is possible to correctly create it so it behaves this way. The reason I think this is because at this moment we don't even know all the details about how our actual minds store and fetch words (and parts of words for that matter). So, if we don't even know how our minds store and fetch words, how can we possibly create a program that is supposed to mimic that mental process?
