I've got the list of files down to 18 files containing some 17800 categories. The next step is to go through these categories in much more detail. What am I looking for? Anything that doesn't match the character profiles of Atomic and Romeo. If it suits one of them it will still have to go.
Why is less AIML better than more? And why am I making this decision? The need to avoid Atomic and Romeo having too much in common is a part of the logic. Another part is less obvious. It is beyond difficult (if not impossible) to keep any overall image of the possible relationships between categories. Less is better. Another part comes from the scriptwriter in me and is even less obvious. How would I edit a script? Look for the crucial moments, those line of dialogue the audience simply must get to generate closure. Everything else is up for grabs.
What is the absolute least? I don't know. However, Atomic and Romeo will have their own 'Properties' defined inside the Pandorabots server rather than in an AIML file. This is where I'll set the 'facts' of their back story.
Now back to the categories.
