1. Introduction

The virtual world cultural change is very important means of the widening of the international cultural communications and world humanistic tendentions on the deeping of personal knowledge basis, and the development of the education and learning technologies on the world cultural and scientific achievement basis.

The technologies of the virtual reality (VRT) allow to realise the procedures of the learning of the adults and children as the healthy so with the operational and sensorial violations (Shapiro, 1996). Such procedures include, for example:

- the didactic experiences: very much presentations of the object for the formation of the basis point of the perception (" to see the word-to hear the word-to see the object");

-the formation of the virtual analogy of the sleep presentations ("She ruches into the picture and walks on the squares and streets of Roma");

-the formation of the virtual mutual penetration of the cultures (languages, traditions, dances, arts).

The central cultural problem of the VRT is the unification of the multimedia possibilities of the computer technologies with world historical-cultural knowledge and texts of the Great world writers (for example, Dante - hell, Charles Dickens - London, Stendal - Rinascimento Roma, Vladimir Giliyrovskii and Michael Bulgakov - Moscow).

This problem is characterised by the organisation of the correlation between the degree of the multimedia presentations (immersion in the virtual world and realisation of the specifics of imagery knowledge) and discourse - the intelligence "question-answer procedure". The answers on the different questions by the texts of the Great writers are determined. The different computer creative ("brain-like") procedures are used.

2. Specifics of Problem

The working of the VRS for the museums (VRSM) is determined by the following specifics of the problems:

• personal Visitor's specifics;

• types of the man-machine communications:

  - type D-I (Verbal Discourse-Description);

  - type D-II (Question-Answers). This type is characterised by the different classes of the complexity:

- types of the Visitor's questions: simple (SQ), standard (STQ), unstandard (USTQ), uniquely questions (UNIKQ);

- types of the answers: answer for SQ: {A--->(SQ)}, answer for STQ {A--->(STQ)}, answer for USTQ {A--->(USTQ)}, answer for UNIKQ {A--->(UNIKQ)};

- type D-III (Order): "Please, go to the green northern gate quickly". Such text includes the non-correlation of the different forms of the metatext (video, audio) and their blend ("poignant poisonous colours");

- type D-IV (Multi-sensorial Discourse). "Go to home. No, this home is very old and cold". This is the multi-sensorial discourse which needs the different forms of the information change Human---> VRSM; VRSM---> Human;

• typology of the complexity of the discourse:

- Question<---> Answer (Type C-I),

- Question for closer definition of the data (what, who, where, when), (Type C-II),

- Question for the closer determination of knowledge (what is specifics of this subject or object). (Type C-III).

The man-machine communication realises these types of the answers in the discourse procedures by means of the different methods.

3. Specifics of Users

The users of the VRM are characterised by the both tapes:

- wide class of the Visitors (adults and children, different education and mother's language etc);

- museum specialists with the different scientific interests (history of the arts, archaeology, architecture, investigation of the creative problems of the writers etc).

The organisation of the intelligence discourse need the study of the typical Visitor's questions (simple, standard, unstandard) and standard, unstandard and unique questions of the scientists. Some analysis of the Human's questions is realised by I. Andreeva.

The answers on the "scientific questions" need the most deep immersion in the environment and the specifics of the subject, analysis of the objects of the virtual space and the study of the sources of the knowledge because the discourse is characterised by the personal communication between the User and Source. For example, the Stendal's text is such source in the Project VIRSTENDAL. The unique creative specifics of the Great Writer Stendal on the "mild sensitivity" are based. Such specifics in the descriptions and statements (essentially about Woman's beauty and Woman's characters and behaviour) are reflected.

The verbal of imagery knowledge about the world are determined by the different types of the styles which are characterised as the specifics of the cognitilogist (Writer) so the user's specifics. The examples are the "Expression about Women":

-"RECORD": "Venus has normal morphology, the hands are absent,..."

-"CONNOISSEUR" (by Stendal): "Long oval of the face,..., burnt hair, expression is rather merry; big light-blue eyes, dark eyebrows which form two quate arcs,...,which like draw by famous Korrego". The investigation of the Stendal's specifics on the Freud Theory basis is reasonable and allows to receive the delicate motives of the similar Stendal's texts which are presented as the fragments of the answers on the unstandard questions. This problem is investigated by Ch. Hemsley.

4. Specifics of Organisation of Discourse

The organisation of the intelligence discourse (ID) by the following problems is determined:

- multi-sensorness of the User-VRSM communication (audio, video, tactile);

- possibilities to receive the answer on the practically all user's questions;

- possibilities to control of the immersion and movement in the virtual space;

- using of the personal oriented communicative procedures (adult, children etc);

- realisation of the specialised algorithms of the formation of the answers on the simple, standard, unstandard and uniquely questions on the brain-lake procedures basis.

Such procedures are determined by the demands of the exposure of the meaning of the statement (C. Shannon told: " Frequently message have the meaning").

The formation of the answers is based on the specifics of the cerebral asymmetry mechanisms from the Left hemispherical ("cliché -text", logic-combinatory presentations, formation of the strong associations: "bottle<>vodka") to the Right hemispherical procedures (interpretation of imagery knowledge, formation of the mild associations: "bottle vodka<>elucidation of the treatment"), (Shapiro, 1991). This method is based on the using of the mild algorithms (Arnold, 1997).

The answers on the simple and standard questions have the information content (using of the Base Data or Base Data and Base Knowledge). The answers on the unstandard questions allow to use the intelligence of the great specialist ("Source") and on the next approaches are based:

1. Selection of the appropriate texts:

1.1. selection on the "key words" basis;

1.2. selection on the range :key words" basis;

1.3. selection on the production rules basis;

1.4. control of the correlation of the results p.1.1-1.3.

These are the Left hemispherical procedures. The range is realised by means of the both principles:

-frequency of the presentation,

-degree of the connections with another "key words".

2. Intelligence analysis of the texts:

2.1. control of the positive and negative categories in the min forms of the metatext;

2.2. estimation of these categories on the qualitative scales basis.

3. Creating of the new fragments of the metatext;

4 Using of the creative specifics of the great writer.

This approach on the Freud Theory analysis is based.

The organisation of the ID is determined , as determine, by the multi-sensorial communication. The intelligence character of the ID needs the correlated intelligence instrumental means. Such instrumental means are based on the procedures of the transformation of the images (Shapiro, 1991) which allows to present the change of the visual and audio images by means both principles: "to the past or future" from the same fixed states and "the change of the objects" ("the cup-board"-"the elephant, Fig.1). This transformation is based on the fuzzy categories technology and the qualitative multi-element scales (Fig.2). The structures of the corresponding Base of Knowledge are worked.

These possibilities are very important for the different cultural applications: the exposure of the meaning of the image, the compared anthropology and archaeology, the comparison of the works of the art etc (Shapiro, 1989). A example of the such transformation presents on the Millennium Experience, The Dome, Greenwich, London -"the transformation of the faces"(Fig.3)

Conclusion.

The intelligence discourse is worked in the Institute for Problems of Computer Technology and informatisation,
