observability

properties of task environments
  • fully observable vs. partially observable
  • single agent vs. multiagent
  • Deterministic vs. stochastic
  • episodic vs. sequential
  • static vs. dynamic
  • discrete vs. continuous
  • known vs. unknown

The hardest case is partially observable, multiagent, stochastic, sequential, dynamic, continuous, and unknown

Production Systems
  • any system that has conditions that breed resulting state
# basic if [condition] then [action] works for these choices
if input == 'Why?':
	return explain()
elif input == 'So What?':
	return response()

Prolog things:

?- likes(george, susie)
:= X

These Production Systems can be ordered or unordered. Ordered is a bit harder to be discrete with testing and is harder to add/remove rules.
