John Ball

Founder and cognitive scientist, John Ball exchanged ideas with luminaries like Marvin Minsky, the father of AI at MIT, who encouraged him to build a prototype of his theory. Working on this and later browsing in a bookstore in Princeton, John stumbled upon a book with an introduction to contemporary linguistic framework, Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). Reading about RRG, he realized this explained how the world’s languages worked - based on meaning.
