LEARNING

Learning is the ability of the architecture to acquire domain specific knowledge that it can later use to improve its performance. We are specifically concerned with a few different types of learning, namely:
Deliberative
The architecture has a special "learning mode" or needs to be told what specific things it would be useful to learn.
Reflexive
The architecture is capable of learning while doing and freely intermixes the two. It does not try to learn only when it needs do, it does so continously.
Monotonic
All learning consists of the addition of new facts to the database. No facts can be deleted.
Non-Monotonic
Facts can be deleted from the database.
