New Situation Calculus approach tackles obligation-producing actions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces a novel approach within the Situation Calculus framework to address the frame problem specifically for obligation-producing actions. These actions, such as closing a door after opening it, create obligations for the agent performing them. The proposed solution simplifies existing characterizations of the accessibility relation used in deontic logic semantics, aligning with Kripke-style possible-world semantics. The work extends basic action theories and regression operators to accommodate these obligation-producing actions, ensuring that obligations persist unless explicitly discharged. AI

    Obligation-Producing Actions

    This paper proposes a Situation Calculus solution to the frame problem for obligation-producing actions, which are actions that create obligations on the part of the agent that performs them. As an example of such actions, we have an opening door action performed by an agent, whi…
