1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises:
identifying a set of identigens for each word of content comprising a plurality of words to produce a plurality of sets of identigens, wherein each identigen of a set of identigens includes a meaning identifier, an instance identifier, and a time reference, wherein each meaning identifier associated with a particular set of identigens represents a different meaning of one or more different meanings of a corresponding word of the content, wherein each time reference provides time information when a corresponding different meaning of the one or more different meanings applies, wherein a first set of identigens of the plurality of sets of identigens is produced for a first word of the content;
interpreting, utilizing identigen pairing rules of a knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a content entigen group, wherein the content entigen group represents an interpretation of the content, wherein the identigen pairing rules include identifiers of sequentially adjacent identigens for known valid combinations of pairs of sequentially adjacent identigens, wherein a first content entigen of the content entigen group corresponds to an identigen of the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of the one or more different meanings of the first word of the content, wherein each content entigen of the content entigen group represents a single conceivable and perceivable thing in space and time that is independent of language and corresponds to a time reference of the selected identigen associated with the content entigen group, wherein the selected identigen favorably pairs with at least one corresponding sequentially adjacent identigen of another set of identigens of the plurality of sets of identigens based on the identigen pairing rules, wherein the knowledge database includes a multitude of entigen groups associated with a multitude of topics, wherein the multitude of topics includes a topic of the content, wherein each entigen group of the multitude of entigen groups includes a corresponding plurality of entigens and one or more entigen relationships between at least some of the corresponding plurality of entigens;
obtaining a contradicting entigen group from the knowledge database based on the content entigen group, wherein a subset of entigens of the contradicting entigen group matches a subset of entigens of the content entigen group, wherein a first contradicting entigen of the contradicting entigen group contradicts a second contradicting entigen of the content entigen group, wherein the first contradicting entigen and the second contradicting entigen are associated with a contradicted entigen common to the subset of entigens of the contradicting entigen group and the subset of entigens of the content entigen group; and
updating the contradicted entigen of the subset of entigens of the content entigen group to indicate duplication of the contradicted entigen of the subset of entigens of the contradicting entigen group.
