Problem: reduce the frame problem to the qualification problem
by saying that a thing doesn't change unless something changes it
and express this as an axiom schema.
¬moving(x,s) ∧ ∀z.¬moves(e,z,x,s) ⊃ location(x,result(e,s)) = location(x,s)
This must be combined with a decision of what things to minimize over.
The general problem solver:
1. finds solutions open sentences expressed in predicate
calculus.
2. expresses the answers as sentences.
3. Look into the epistemology of this. Thus "x solves
cons(e1,e2) = cons(e3,e4) if and only if x solves bothe
e1 = e3 and e2 = e4".
This precedes the heuristic that states "in order to solve
conse(e1,e2) = cons(e3,e4), then solve e1 = e3 subject to
e2 = e4.
