NOTES FOR PAPER ON THE REPRESENTATION PROBLEM

 1. title: problems  of representation of information  in intelligent
systems

 2. The object of the paper is to identify the problems that  have to
be  solved  in  order  to  decide  how  to  represent  information in
intelligent systems.

 3. More propaganda on epistemology and heuristics.

 4. Typology of problems.

  4.1. Static problems.

  4.2. One actor quasi-static problems

  4.3. Parallel actions.

  4.4.  Physical problems  where all  information used  is  about the
world  vs.  intellectual  problems  where  some  of  the  information
manipulated is about information.

  4.5. Problems that involve the purposes of others.

  4.6.  Problems where  the complete  state of  affairs is  known vs.
those in which incomplete information is essentially involved

 5. Frames and subframes

 6. Correspondence between models and the world.

 7. Generalizations of the situation formalism.

 8. value(e,p) formalism for discussing knowledge and belief

  8.1. axioms of knowledge and belief.

  8.2. the sense of an expression as an equivalence class

 9. the qualification problem

  9.1. the minimal model approach

  9.2. the "normally" approach

 10. Knowledge sets



  10.1. How do you know you don't know?

  10.2. Relations to metamathematics

  10.3. Hill climbing in the space of states of mind
