The basic integrated agent is an ideal example of modular organization. The
text interpreter and generator are totally separate from the
planner. More significantly, the
former only have access to knowledge in the
lexipedia, while the latter only
references generic memory. The two
memories are completely independent, because although certain pieces of
knowledge may be included in both, there is no communication between the
two. There is communication between the natural language modules and the
control modules, but this is limited and follows a restrictive protocol.
