ATM:
Yes, a *conceptualized* knowledge base (KB).

Ture. Language is nevertheless closely involved with thought.

The sensorium is where we amateur mind-makers count on
help from the amateur robot-makers. They want a mind
for their robots; we want robots for our AI to live in.

Understanding the AI Mind is helped along considerably by

Only an initial, hit-the-ground-thinking lexicon is hard-coded.
The AI learns new words via the human-computer interaction (HCI).
