Homer: Knowledge Persistance

Description

• Factual knowledge persists until specifically forgotten. Episodic memory is never forgotten, which results in a knowledge/speed tradeoff .
• Factual knowledge can be given a time frame during which it will be assumed to be true and after which it will be "terminated" from generic memory
• If a persistant fact is found to be in conflict with a perceived or user-supplied fact then it will be terminated
• Even when a fact is terminated it will be remembered as having once been true in episodic memory
• When knowledge is modified, Homer will replan if necessary
