Meta-Reasoning Architecture: Domain Knowledge

Meta-Reasoning Architecture: Domain Knowledge

MAX may solve problems in many domains, any one of which can be defined along with the appropriate primitive operators in the base domain area of the architecture definition, encoded in the architecture's uniform lframe representation. General behaviors are thought to be useful for general intelligence, while base domain knowledge and operations specifically assist problem solving for particular agents, including domain-specific learning and heuristics.

As indicated by the block in the graphical picture of MAX, additional knowledge may be added to MAX, denoting the extensibility of the architecture. The references examined for this document did not utilize this aspect of the architecture nor indicate how it might be used. Note that this additional knowledge cannot overcome the limitations of the declarative representation of knowledge, including the monotonic dependence of efficiency on the retention of new knowledge, nor the limitations of two-valued logic on the ability to represent continuous variables, especially continuous time.
