But what does he do when he has little idea, or no idea at all, of what he can find in the system, especially so if the corpus is so vast and universal that it would take pages of text to indicate him the content (which, for this reason, he would not be prepared to read in advance).

This is why a second way of approach must be offered by the system as well.

This facility is a real "hot" thing in two respects - one, as the system, in a way, would be capable of adopting the way the unknown user thinks, so that it acts as a learning system; the other as it allows the information provider to track the users individual approaches to the bank (of which nothing would otherwise ever become known), and to learn about their way of thinking, their very process of approaching the bank and of acquiring knowledge, and thus to be able to further improve the system.

So, the system will behave in an adaptive and "dynamic" way, adaptive insofar as it constantly optimises the user-machine-corpus relation, and dynamic insofar as, after a certain period of time, it will be more and more in itself a subject, agent, - and testimony -, of cultural change and interchange. Thus, it will more and more reflect the general thinking and paradigms of the different user communities and cultures all over the world.
