It literally responds to methods of communicating as common as talking and pointing. Make that magenta. What command? Make. Move the sailboat. Which one? Magenta. Where? North of Haiti. That's the whole point of this work. To enable human beings to tap into the incredible speed and range of the computer, much as one human being responds to another.
