Rationality of ICARUS
Time constraints
prevent ICARUS from being "perfectly rational", as it cannot
bring all its knowledge to bear on every problem. This, however, is perhaps
acceptable because humans do the same with almost every problem. ICARUS'
attention mechanism contributes to this phenomenon.
LABYRINTH's greedy
algorithm sometimes excludes experiences stored in memory, which also
contributes. However, ICARUS typically performs rationally.
