Once agents are properly connected to world referents, a control structure muyst be engaged to guide appropriate actions in the world. Minsky's solution is to define actions over role agents in the trans-frame, not on the objects that they refer to. As a result, one control structure will apply to many, many different situations.
(NB: Does a similar argument find its way into the FINST literature, or into Ullman's account of the objects that visual routines act upon?)
