Bounded Rationality in Soar

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.
