| | Modeling Practical Reasoning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | Systemic considerations suggest that models of the relevant knowledge will consist of a collection of isolated productions, many of which will be concerned with avoidance rather than goal achievement. |
 | | As such a natural system is always incompletely known; we continually learn about such a system by watching its effects on other systems with which it interacts, and attempting to include the observables rendered perceptible thereby into the scheme of linkages established previously. |
 | | Thus, on purely systemic grounds one would expect that the practical reasoning of experts faced with natural systems, limited information flows, and irreversibility, would be found to have a major component of knowledge concerned with activities to avoid certain situations rather than with goal-directed achievement. |
