RP is a program that represents what it knows mainly by sentences
and decides what to do by reasoning - both monotonic and non-monotonic.

What should it know about?

	It knows about events taking place in time and can determine
the consequences of certain events.

	Its own actions are considered as events whose consequences
it can sometimes determine.

	It represents goals by sentences, and it tries to deduce that
it should do actions in order to achieve goals.

	It makes observations which result in sentences.
