Recording a new piece of information in nested contexts - makeRecord()

I wrote the details of an algorithm today, called makeRecord(), that handles the task of processing context specific text and recording it in the data structure of nested contexts that I have been developing. The algorithm makes some pretty heavy assumptions:

  • that the context can be updated in the order of most general to least general, and 
  • that the new context is the least general common context containing both the new and the previous details
  • that text can be de-serialized into a nested data structure by these assumptions
The reason it is "heavy" is the proposed uniform and simple way to parse meaning, more or less independent of grammar and syntax.
