THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE KNOWSYS PROJECT:

 INPUT
THE KNOWLEDGE FILTER

 CONTENT
THE WISDOM-BASE

 OUTPUT
THE ANSWER MACHINE

 The Knowledge Filter is the posting mechanism whereby information, opinions and links to other resources on the web are submitted and edited for inclusion in the Wisdom-Base. The perspectives presented range from religion and philosophy to brain science, self-help technologies and psychology. The viewpoints will only be limited by what is offered by contributors and found useful or interesting by other users. The Knowledge Filter re-organizes itself in response to user feedback. The perspectives that the most people find useful automatically move toward the top of the "answers" hierarchy.  The Wisdom-Base is the body of information selected by users to be most useful in addressing issues such as Understanding Human Nature, Formulas for Living, Secrets of Happiness, Developing our Human Potential, and Understanding the Great Mysteries of Existence. The selection process will select the most useful and accurate insights that we as a species have gained about ourselves through the ages. User generated links and comments provide alternate perspectives, explanations, supporting contributions and additional resources on each subject.  The Answer Machine is the user interface for the Knowsys Project. It uses a query routing system that interprets questions and directs users to the discussion forums or subject areas of the Wisdom-Base most likely to be of use to them. The query routing system operates by identifying key words or concepts in a question and then posing counter questions to identify the issue as accurately as possible. The user is then directed to a subject forum dealing with very specific issues from a number of perspectives.
