Consistent Environments

The Environmental Consistency Hypothesis, as proposed by the designers of Prodigy posits that the environment can be assumed to change much slower (if at all) with respect to the speed of the reasoning and learning mechanisms. In this sense, the change is not so much the change in state as in dynamic environments but rather a change in the underlying principles that drive the environment.

Although this is true for some environments, adopting this hypothesis as part of the framework of the architecture may have serious implications (including complete loss of functionality) in which the properties of the environment do change at about the same rate of speed as the mechanisms of deliberation.

Architectures having this environment include:
