Problem space: u-construct, s-construct and generator

Operator Overview:

This operator may form part of the u-constuctor or s-constructor being constructed. It connects assigners to receivers in the syntactic or semantic A/R set.

Operator Proposal:

Link operator proposals are returned by the generator space. The operator carries attributes for the assigner, role and receiver.

Operator Application:

The application of this operator removes the receiver from the A/R set, creates the link and annotates the role attribute of the assigner with the receiver (or in the case of an adjoin link in syntactic comprehension, creates the adjoined-node and annotate the assigner with ^annotation adjoined) and updates the AGR features of the assigner and/or the receiver. It also removes the word associated with the receiver from ^receivers-id so that the word is no longer available for linking.

Note that because of this application, implementation chunks are built as by-products and they will fire eventually as part of the u-constructor or s-constrcutor when it gets proposed in the top-space.

Operator Reconsider:

The operator is reconsidered when the assigner is augmented with the receiver in the role attribute (or with the ^annotation adjoined in the case of an adjoin link).
