Soar: Distractable
Description
- Soar is not constrained by a linear search through a single problem space
but may actually change context as the need arises.
- Though Soar has a fixed decision cycle
it does not have explicit subgoaling. Rather, the goal stack
arises dynamically through problem solving.
- Any production can potentially fire at any time, allowing Soar to be
distracted from its current goal. A production can create a new problem
space in which Soar refocuses its attention and addresses new subgoals.
- This distractablility allows Soar to attend to high priority situations
without having to complete the current goal resolution processing.
