Command to view what’s in a concept
  
 
Posted: Nov 8, 2017

OK, I can’t seem to find this on my own. How do I view what’s inside a concept?

For instance, I enter :prepare dollar, and I see that “dollar” is in the concept ~currency. So I go to ONTOLOGY to see what else is in ~currency, and I cannot find that concept anywhere. Is there a command to view all the words/concepts/phrases in a concept directly in terminal so that I don’t have to go looking for it?

Thank you!

Personally I tend to use
:facts ~conceptname

But note that not all concepts have predefined members and are assigned dynamically (see the System Variables manual). ~currency is one of those.

The list of currencies is built from the currencies.txt file in LIVEDATA.

Interesting, thank you! Are fact subjects different from concepts structurally?

There are enumeration concepts (as you see from ONTOLOGY) and there are dynamic concepts (engine decides something is a member in the moment).  enumeration concepts can be viewed via :down ~concept 100 .

Concepts are internally just a collection of facts of the form (word member ~conceptname)
The “member” verb is reserved for concept use and the “is”  verb is used for dictionary hierarchy structure.

Great, thank you! I was confused because I was trying to view dynamic concepts which are not there. I get it now.

we would not want to make ~number an enumeration concept, for example.  Nor ~mainsubject.
