Circumscription Logic: Fundamentals and Applications
Informazioni su questo ebook
John McCarthy developed the non-monotonic logic known as circumscription in order to codify the common sense assumption that things would be as expected until they are specifically stated to be otherwise. McCarthy eventually made use of circumscription in an effort to resolve the frame issue. McCarthy extended first-order logic in order to permit the minimizing of the extension of specific predicates. The extension of a predicate is defined as the set of tuples of values that the predicate is true on. McCarthy did this in order to implement circumscription in the original articulation of his theory. This method of reduction is analogous to the closed-world assumption, which states that everything that cannot be proven to be true must be untrue.
