1. Function
The Intent and Referent Analysis (PGM‑IRA) AIM derives, from the Meaning (Text Descriptors Object) produced by Prompt Token Analysis, the goal-directed purpose of the utterance of the User with which the A-User is interacting. It also resolves the expressions referring to other Users in the scene which are contained in the Meaning or Interaction History.
PGM‑IRA:
- Infers the User’s Intent from the Meaning, determining its category (Informational, Procedural, Confirmational, Expressive, Spatial, or Meta-Interaction), specific action type, urgency, confidence level, temporal cues, and spatial anchors.
- Resolves expressions — pronouns, definite descriptions, demonstratives, and deictic gestures — referring to Users in the scene or originating from earlier interaction turns, expressing each resolution as a Proposition (linking a subject to an object via a predicate), with spatial and temporal context where applicable.
- Queries Basic Knowledge via BKN-PRC Response when world knowledge is needed to disambiguate Intent or resolve a referent.
- Queries A‑User Storage via PRC IH Request when prior interaction context is needed to resolve a referent or confirm an Intent.
PGM‑IRA does not enrich the Intent with Goal constraints, scene context tags, or expressive configuration. Rather, it establishes the User’s Intent and the denotation of the referring expressions. Contextualisation and prompt planning are left to the downstream Sub-AIMs of Prompt Creation.

3. Input/Output Data
Table 1 specifies the Input and Output Data of the Intent and Referent Analysis (PGM‑IRA) AIM.
Table 1 – I/O Data of the Intent and Referent Analysis (PGM‑IRA) AIM
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| Meaning | Data conveying structured linguistic analysis of the User’s Text Object produced by Prompt Token Analyser. |
| PRC Directive | Directive from A‑User Control specifying scope, depth, and policy constraints for prompt construction. |
| PRC IH Response | Interaction History Response from A‑User Storage providing prior interaction context to support referent resolution and Intent disambiguation. |
| BKN-PRC Request | Response from Basic Knowledge to a BKN-PRC Request issued by the Intent and Referent Analysis AIM, providing world knowledge to support Intent inference or referent resolution. |
| Output | Description |
| Intent | Structured representation of the User’s Goal-directed purpose, carrying category, action type, parameters (urgency, confidence level, temporal cue, spatial anchor), and confidence score. |
| Proposition | Structured resolution of expressions referring to User, expressed as subject–predicate–object triples with spatial and temporal context. |
| PRC Status | Data reporting the processing outcome of the AIM based on PRC Directive. |
| PRC IH Request | Request for Interaction History issued to A‑User Storage. |
| BKN-PRC Response | Request for world knowledge issued to Basic Knowledge in order to support Intent inference or referent resolution. |

8. Conformance Testing
Table 2 provides the Conformance Testing Method for the Intent and Referent Analysis (PGM‑IRA) AIM.
If a schema contains references to other schemas, conformance of data for the primary schema implies that any data referencing a secondary schema shall also validate against the relevant schema, if present, and conform with the Qualifier, if present.
| Receives | Meaning | Shall validate against the Meaning schema. |
| PRC Directive | Shall validate against the PRC Directive schema. | |
| PRC IH Response | Shall validate against the PRC IH schema. | |
| BKN-PRC Response | Shall validate against the BKN-PRC schema. | |
| Produces | Intent | Shall validate against the Intent schema. |
| Proposition | Shall validate against the Proposition schema. | |
| PRC Status | Shall validate against the PRC Status schema. | |
| PRC IH Request | Shall validate against the PRC IH schema. | |
| BKN-PRC Request | Shall validate against the BKN-PRC schema. |
