zakim, who is on the phone?
17:03:55 [Zakim]
SW_RIF(PRD)1:00PM has not yet started, csma
17:03:56 [Zakim]
On IRC I see apaschke, RRSAgent, cke, Zakim, csma
17:04:07 [apaschke]
"not" was not accepted
17:06:46 [csma]
Not-a-fact
17:07:24 [cke]
why not just "neg"?
17:07:52 [csma]
not, neg, naf
17:08:07 [csma]
those ones are not for consideration
17:09:09 [csma]
inflationary negation
17:10:23 [apaschke]
not_class, not_inf, not_naf
17:10:44 [csma]
Notnow
17:12:59 [apaschke]
maybe we should offer several different proposals and them simply do a straw poll in the next general RIF telecon
17:13:07 [csma]
Not(Exists ?x P(?x))
17:13:29 [cke]
another example: (not (customer.age > 20))
17:14:00 [cke]
if the customer's age is 18, then this is true
17:14:23 [csma]
Nsf
17:14:49 [apaschke]
prdNot, bldNot, coreNot, ...
17:16:14 [csma]
Naf = Negation as failure
17:16:23 [csma]
Nsf = Not supported by facts
17:16:31 [cke]
and "boolean_not"?
17:21:11 [cke]
I prefer it not to be an acronym. I like something explicit like "negation"
17:21:15 [csma]
Notsf
17:21:44 [cke]
Can we avoid saying "fact"?
17:22:07 [cke]
There can be only test, like (not (customer.age > 20))
17:22:43 [apaschke]
I prefer Nsf over Notsf since NsF is like Neg, Naf
17:23:47 [apaschke]
a variant could be "No matching facts" = Nmf
17:26:07 [cke]
how about "notf"?
17:27:06 [cke]
Another example (customer (age not > 20))
17:32:02 [cke]
how about "binary_not"?
17:32:19 [apaschke]
classical (Boolean) negation
17:32:44 [apaschke]
is a two-valued true-false logic
17:33:09 [apaschke]
three-valued logic with unknown truth value (Kleene negation)
17:33:18 [cke]
And "pnot" for production rule not?
17:33:36 [cke]
or maybe "prnot"?
17:36:24 [csma]
INot
17:36:48 [csma]
NotI
17:37:02 [csma]
Not(I)
17:37:27 [csma]
Inot
17:37:37 [csma]
INeg
17:37:48 [cke]
I find ineg better
17:38:05 [cke]
how do we write it?
17:38:17 [cke]
ineg, INeg or Ineg?
17:38:30 [csma]
PROPOSED: INeg (for Inflationary, or immediate, negation)
17:38:42 [cke]
+1
17:41:32 [apaschke]
subsumption is already an advanced concept to optimize the execution flow
17:45:11 [cke]
Subsumption is very advanced, we have to do extensive analysis for this
17:45:47 [csma]
PROPOSED: drop subsumion from the conflict resolution strategy, and come back to the previous consensus (refraction+priority+recency), maybe with an implementation note.

18:20:57 [Zakim]
sorry, csma, I don't know what conference this is
18:21:22 [csma]

18:21:22 [Zakim]
