	Illustration An aminal-identification system which can classify an animal as a mammal or bird, then as carnivore, vegetarian, bird of prey and scavenger so on, as well as giving the name of the actual animal itself. Sample of the program To use the system, the user would type: ?_recognize(animal). The system would reply: Tell me(yes or no) If(suckles_young, warm_blooded) If the user types: yes The system would respond: The creature is a mammal The system would ask: Tell me(yes or no) If(eats_meat) If the user types: yes The system would respond: The creature is a carnivore Tell me(yes or no) If(orange_colour, black_stripes) If the user types: yes The system would respond: The creature is a tiger
	Methods The program is recursive. First, to recognize the Name of a creature, then check the list. If the list of the features is empty, write on the screen "I do not know this animal". If the list of the features is not empty, write on the screen the words "The creature is a " followed by whatever is presently filling the Subspecies variable. The system can take the form of a number of features characteristics of each creature. They probably won't be identical, but there should be some common group. For example, has whiskers could be a cat, a lion or a tiger, but if it were combined with a tame, it could be a lion if it were combined with is wild and has mane, or it could be a tiger if it were combined with has black strips. It is possible to update the list at anytime. The system is efficiency and user friendly.
	Conclusions Each time a creature is identified, new facts are added to memory. Once it has recognized the animal in question and all its subspecies, clear its memory of that creature's characters otherwise it would cause confusion.
