Global and Uniform Representation

All knowledge (beliefs) in Theo is represented in a slot/entity=value format; that is, by means of frames. A world model is maintained in this format, and problems are represented as slots without values. Inferencing is done on these slots to determine the unknown values.

In addition to using a single format, all modules have access to this knowledge throughout the system.
