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}}Read more about this topic: Message Parsing Interpreter

“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
