Not really. People can write their own control scripts, which change to flow of control….
Here is the flow that ships as Harry, which is ROUGHLY a good flow (with various embellishments possible).
The general rule is the system will execute rules until one generates output.
Rules for matching within a topic in responder mode:
1. execute rules first to last.
2. if they are gambits, ignore them
3. if any element of their pattern fails to match, ignore it
4. if a matching rule is found, execute it. If it generates output, stop.
Overall flow of Harry Control
1. Does input match rejoinder of most recent output? -> execute rejoinder
2. Match in responder mode current topic
3. Match in responder mode any other topic with keywords matching input
4. 50% of the time, match in responder mode all quibble topics
5. execute next available gambit in current topic if keywords match on topic
6. execute next available gambit on any topic with matching keywords
7. execute next available gambit from any topic at random
