Lecture 1 - Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents
... 1. Choose a task domain: intended interpretation. 2. Associate an atom with each proposition you want to represent. 3. Tell the system clauses that are true in the intended interpretation: axiomatizing the domain. 4. Ask questions about the intended interpretation. 5. If KB |= g , then g must be tru ...

Scharp on Replacing Truth
... safe sentence, according to Scharp, is a sentence to which one can apply disquotational reasoning. Moreover, Scharp’s theory of safety is consistent: he shows that one cannot derive any contradictions from his theory of safeness and truth. In particular there are revenge sentences involving the safe ...

Supplement: Conditional statements and basic methods of proof
... First note that there is only one set of circumstances under which a conditional statement is false: The hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. Therefore to establish that a conditional statement is false, it suffices to produce a specific counterexample; that is, a specific situation for w ...
