Monkeys are similar to humans in that they are able to manipulate the world around them by using their finger-like hands and get around using there feet. The tasks they are able to handle are a far smaller portion of any responsibility than a human can handle, however, the monkeys overcome this by working in well organized monkey teams. In well organized teams, as "...little as 27 monkeys can match the ability of one human beings responsibility" (Nanwood 2009 pp66-8).

Helper monkeys (HM) are the simplest monkeys to understand. All monkeys are born as helper monkeys and then continue as such till they qualify to be general-purpose monkey, usually 2-5 years of age. Helper monkeys are 10-13 inches tall, can lift their weight and are aware of their immediate surroundings. They show signs that they see and understand that the larger monkeys communicate with each other, and once HM observe another monkey, they can mimic what that monkey is doing. This was termed in the late 20th century as "monkey see, monkey do" (et al pp55). To help you understand this in practicality please read the following excerpt:

"The older more mature monkey was explaining to the GPM to move the fire wood into the house. Once the monkey explained it to the others, they stared moving the wood, each monkey doing his or her little part. One would lift each log and throw it to the line of monkeys forming bellow, then each monkey would carry his log into the house holding it proudly above his head. The monkeys at first looked back and forth confused by all the movement of the older monkeys. Some HM started following the log-carrying monkeys around, eventually when they got to the part of the line that received a log the helper monkey would carry his own log and unload it just like the Older ones. More and more Helper monkeys joined until there was what seemed like 5 times as many helpers as there where the older monkeys. Another team started forming inside a house to pile and catalogue the wooden logs." (Dock Hand, Lower Cambodia 2007 Et al PP99-101).

Helper monkeys can learn in a few minutes how to copy the occurring task of a nearby Special purpose monkeys - a general purpose monkey that has been assigned a task. Their learning ability is increased by the removal of a derogatory enzyme found in natural bananas combined with an increase of the amino acids L-taurine, l-tyrosine and Potassium. By being fed a specially manufactured food by the Banana Flavored Food Conglomerate. As you can see in this chart, research has proven that eating the enzyme found in natural bananas can seriously affect the learning abilities of a monkey. The amino acid supplement is in order to compensate for basic nutrition that would be ingested by eating bananas.

Helper Monkeys (HM) usually interact with general purpose monkeys and in unusual circumstances even with Dual-purpose monkeys. Unlike HM, General Purpose Monkeys (GPM) interact with all other monkeys on a regular basis. The GPM is sometimes nicknamed by non-scientific users as Middle-Monkeys. GPMs can be assigned one concurrent-responsibility (Purpose). A responsibility includes three connected tasks commonly broken down to one work task, one order receiving task, and one order transmitting task. Except for HMs all monkeys are able to transmit and receive task input to all other monkeys in their operating area. Once a GPM is given a responsibility, they become a special or specific purpose monkeys, usually followed by some form of description of the task. (i.e. SPM Sonar Monitoring) Dual-Purpose-Monkeys are very very experienced GPM monkeys. If a monkey can qualify for DPM status, they are able to then handle 2 concurrent responsibilities (purposes). (each with a 3 task assignments)There are rare instances when a monkey will be able to achieve Other-Purpose-Monkey status (OPM) One way to define an OPM is a monkey that is able to handle 2 concurrent responsibilities, with each responsibility containing within it 2 concurrent-responsibilities. OPM are sometimes called Multi-Purpose Monkeys (MPM) and are VERY rare.

The next section will focus on how all monkeys work together to handle a given set of responsibilities and how all the responsibilities are compiled along a range of competent monkeys to create a Team of Monkeys.

Human interaction is usually simpler with a DPM, but any monkey can be explained The Goal. Once The Goal has been communicated to the monkey using the Limb-Position-Language-Commands (LPLC - more on this later), the monkey will automatically communicate The Goal to the nearest monkey that will be able to forward The Goal so that it is forwarded to one level higher than the minimum that can handle The Goal and The Team is then assembled to complete The Goal, and the goal is then completed as soon as possible. (Baucher 2007 990-1003).

The core ability that allows monkeys to complete their Goals is their capability to work with each other in well organized teams. Monkey Teams can work with other Monkey Teams and sub monkey teams can exist within other monkey teams or other sub-monkey teams that also contain sub-monkey teams.
