This paper describes a simple approach to language processing. Knowledge of the domain is stored in a three row numeric matrix or semantic net. The meaning of individual words is contained in pointers from each word to the objects in the environment and the relations between these objects. The intersections of these pointers resolves the ambiguity inherent in the multiple meanings of words. The input string is treated as a series of triads, where the result of processing one triad is passed as an argument for the next triad. Parsing into the required noun phrases and verb phrases is done by semantic means (intersection); when words have no semantic pointers, a syntactic parser is utilized.
