	Common sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One meaning of the term common sense (or as an adjective, commonsense/common-sense or as an adverb, commonsensical) on a strict construction of the term, is what people in common would agree; that which they "sense" in common as their common natural understanding.
		Some use the phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that in their opinion they consider would in most people's experience be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what is believed to be knowledge held by people "in common".
		Thus there is no commonsense intuition of, for example, the behavior of the universe at subatomic distances or speeds approaching that of light.

	Commonsense
		The term commonsense, as employed for this writing, drops the physiological allusion and uses the term commonsense in an intellectual context to mean sound rational thinking in liminal states of awareness.
		Commonsense is value oriented because it inherently supposes that adequately sound (affirmative) rational thinking is better for individuals and for society in general than is unsound rational thinking.
		Commonsense rides on the rails of affirmative logical intuition, flourishes when backed up by sound critical philosophy and counts on the understanding of others for filling in the unspoken assumptions.

	The Commonsense Conception and its Relation to Scientific Theory
		Authors who contend that the commonsense conception is nothing but a kind of scientific theory, do not see that the two fields of life have their own concept of meaning.
		Commonsense and science are not separate from each other, however: though both have their own practices, the way we interpret reality scientifically presupposes our commonsense conception.
		That the commonsense conception has to be conceived as mediation does not mean, however, that the process of mediation and the results of mediation (commonsense views, beliefs, desires, etc.) cannot be the object of study.

	Management Skills, Competencies, and Commonsense
		Greatly influencing these accomplishments are all too human characteristics that parade themselves in the form of skills, competencies, and yes, commonsense, and not necessarily in that order.
		Commonsense, although not always deliberate, make us mindful of our actions when we interact in business, at home, in social settings, and even in the most mundane tasks that we do.
		Obviously, commonsense does not require us to delve into the deep recesses of our subliminal thoughts, nor does it compel us to expend some unspent neural reserves so we can think critically.

	Amazon.com: Commonsense Reasoning: Books: Erik T. Mueller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		He discusses the main issues that arise in commonsense reasoning, such as the need for representing commonsense knowledge, the ability to reason about events, some of which may be concurrent or nondeterministic, and how to deal with space.
		Central to the book is the construction of the `event calculus', which is a system for representing commonsense knowledge and for implementing three types of reasoning abilities, namely `temporal projection', `abduction', and `postdiction.' The fundamental notion of course is the `event', which is an action taking place in the world.
		That commonsense reasoning must be at times nonmonotonic is obvious, since certain premises held at one time may have to be altered when new information presents itself at a later time.

		Commonsense reasoning is required in a wide variety of systems from autonomous lawn mowers to deep space probes.
		For example, an essential feature of commonsense reasoning is that it must deal with incomplete and uncertain information in dynamic environments responsively and appropriately.

		The goal of LifeNet is to provide a substrate for commonsense reasoning about a person's context, by providing an ontology and knowledge base focused on aspects of their situation such as where they are, what they are doing, what they just did and what they might do next.
		The conventional wisdom is that the commonsense reasoning problem needs to be fully solved before we can begin to incorporate common sense into applications -- but we have begun to show that even with partial knowledge bases and imperfect inference, there are many useful roles common sense can play.

		By giving machines common sense, they will finally be able to understand people, our goals and typical problems, and they will be able to better assist us in solving them or coming to terms with them--thus simplifying and humanizing the technology and tools of the digital age.
		We are developing a suite of representations and inference tools that each focus on a different type of commonsense knowledge, and represent and reason with it differently, and for each such representation we are populating it with large quantities of useful knowledge.
		Commonsense reasoning enable an entirely new breed of applications, ones capable of understanding the user's situation and goals like a real person would.

	Commonsense Organics - About
		In particular the company was established to mainstream the marketing of organic produce and to introduce organic food to a wide range of New Zealanders.
		Commonsense Organics aimed to convert mainstream New Zealanders to organic vegetables — so we have always concentrated on offering fresh and top quality produce — in the early days most of the vegetables ended up at the soup kitchen because Jim just refused to sell anything less than top quality.
		Commonsense Organics policy is to ensure the price we pay growers covers the real cost of production, so we are not just a commercial enterprise selling something for which we know there is a growing market.

		However, it is widely assumed that the use of common sense in interactive applications will remain impractical for years, until these collections can be considered sufficiently complete and commonsense reasoning sufficiently robust.
		Recently, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Laboratory, we have had some success in applying commonsense knowledge in a number of intelligent interface agents, despite the admittedly spotty coverage and unreliable inference of today’s commonsense knowledge systems.
