In the Tarka Samgraha - the most common examples given are that of 
cowness and jarness: what are the qualites that make a cow a cow, and a 
jar a jar?   The fundamental concepts required for building full fledged 
artificial intelligence systems are found in just this single work. 
 Please do get a copy of Tarka Samgraha - it is available at the nearest 
Ramakrishna Math Book store for Rs. 25/- only.

Instead of exploring its relevance to IT generally you may try focusing 
on AI specifically.

My project is .^. Calpp: Computer Aided Legal Procedures and 
Proceedings.  The most fundamental problem that I faced was with naming 
objects in the law, and my solution was to have just a simple heading 
and key scheme, that is easily stored in database tables - and therefore 
have the ability to store innumerable facts/data without any artificial 
limit.  Calpp keeps count of headings and keys, and this way have 
control of forms, procedures and proceedings. I have already written 
index.inc and Index.php scripts that could index the atoms in the way we 
want.  I won't be wrong if I say that Index.php is very close to a plane 
like human consiousness. If interested do visit 
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/calpp/projdisplay.php  .
A mailing list has also been started recently at 
http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/calpp-calpp-general
Arky here is along with me there.
