Bounded Rationality in Soar
Soar is not
completely rational. Some of this
irrationality derives from architectural constraints. For example,
the
elaboration phase
has an artificially-prescribed limit on the number of iterations that
can be processed in a single elaboration. Although this rarely happens
in Soar systems (the limit is approximately an order of magnitude greater
than the average number of elaboration iterations), it represents a possible
source of rationality bounded by substrate limitations. However, Soar
is always intendedly rational, trading full (i.e.,
knowledge level)
rationality for
reactivity and
real-time behavior.
