The Closed World Assumption

Not a theory but an assumption made in many systems about the environment. Everything that is applicable is known? Some agents operate under the assumption that no other agents exist in the world and that the processes active in the world will not undo what the agent has already done. The aspect of the world in which the agent neither must compete for resources nor for access to items in the world plus the aspect that work already done by the agent does not get undone constitutes the closed world assumption.
