A source signal embodying knowledge is decomposed into a simple and regular internal representation of a decomposition of epistemic instances of the knowledge. An epistemic instance is a fundamental semantic structure that expresses a transformation of two objects. The internal representation is then transformed into another internal representation from which a target signal is constructed. The complexity of language is localized within rules for decomposing the source signal into the internal representation and rules for transforming the internal representation into another internal representation. In one embodiment, source signal decomposition and target signal constructions are facilitated by look ups into a universal dictionary.
