Abstract
AMBIT/G (AMBIT for Graph Manipulation) is a language for the manipulation of directed graphs. The data on which an AMBIT/G program operates is displayed as an actual diagrammatic representation of a directed graph, and not some sequential encodement of a graph. Furthermore, AMBIT/G statements are themselves written as directed graphs. The programmer works in terms of these diagrams throughout the conception, composition, checking, and execution of an AMBIT/G program.

A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T. was designed to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker, whereby a machine could be instructed to handle declarative as well as imperative sentences and could exhibit "common sense" in carrying out its instructions.

The algorithm is applicable to other members of the family of string transformation languages of which AMBIT is a member, and it provides a rationale for the design of the AMBIT language.

This paper is intended to exhibit the important features of AMBIT without entering into a complete and formal definition of the language, and contains several examples of programs written in the language.
