Message Parsing Interpreter - Command Structure

Command Structure

MPI could be viewed as a form of markup language as instructions are encapsulated within bracket marks to differentiate them from regular text. The MPI command is specified first, followed by a colon, and then command arguments, separated by commas. If one of the arguments is a string that contains a comma, it is escaped by using a backslash or the {lit:} (for literal) command.

{ command : argument1, argument2 }

Commands can be nested, taking the place of one or more arguments within the parent command to form more complex code:

{tell: {name:me} just looked at {name:this}., {owner:this}}

Famous quotes containing the words command and/or structure:

    Children from humble families must be taught how to command just as other children must be taught how to obey.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
