+Use arguments from clause parsing to perform queries when answering question
+ - use subject to find some node
+ - use interrogative argument to apply filters to the lookup
+
 
 Comprehend the sentence "My name is ${name}"
  - Transfer statement eval
 
 
-Update parsers to use "Arguments" (currently called "NounStack"), "Predicates" (Not defined yet, but essentially verbs), and "Adjuncts" (also not defined yet, are noncritial information eg "yesterday")
-Update parsers to determine valence of sentence (maybe create a dictionary to lookup?)
