Dealing with interjection
  
 
Posted: Jul 2, 2015

I apologize for the barrage of questions but I am returning to CS after a long while and need to relearn all this info.

So, I have just learned that interjections like yes/no are broken into two inputs. I am not sure why since they are some of the most common responses. I would like to know how to handle this issue.

t: Did you like this movie?
  a: (~yes) What did you like
        a: (acting)
        b: (story)

  b: (~yes _*) Analyze @0 for acting, story and go to relevant response

If interjections break this off how do I handle this. The basic manual is somewhat confusing in the ineterjections, discourse acts and concept sets section.

CS is oriented around canonical representation, to avoid redundant rules. 
Yes. I do.
and
Yes, I do.
are fundamentally the same.

You can alter your token control to NOT do interjection splitting.

Your demo script is faulty in that it should be:
a: (~yes) 
  b: (acting)
  b: (story)

You can also directly transition to a next input:
a: (~yes %more) ^next(input) ^refine()
  b: (acting)
  b: (story)
a: (~yes) What did you like
  b: (acting)
  b: (story)
