The Naive Physics Perplex
ion in physical reasoning. Approximation and abstraction in physical reasoning takes many forms: Objects of complex characteristics can be approximated by objects of simpler characteristics (for example, a real resistor by an ideal resistor or a curved object by a polyhedral object), a group of objects can be approximated by a single object (figure 10), and a group of simple objects can be appr...
متن کاملThe Naive Physics Perplex
The \Naive Physics Manifesto" of Pat Hayes (1978) proposes a large-scale project of developing a formal theory encompassing the entire knowledge of physics of naive reasoners, expressed in a declarative symbolic form. The theory is organized in clusters of closely interconnected concepts and axioms. More recent work in the representation of commonsense physical knowledge has followed a somewhat...
متن کاملNaive Physics: An Essay in Ontology
In the works of Aristotle or of the medievals, as also in the writings of later common-sense philosophers such as Thomas Reid or G. E. Moore, we find a family of different attempts to come to grips with the structures of common sense and of the common-sense world that is given to us in normal, pre-theoretical experience. We shall argue in what follows that the theory of such structures provides...
متن کاملNaive Physics, Event Perception, Lexical Semantics and Language Acquisition
In a companion paper, Siskind (1991) argues that during the early bootstrapping stages of language acquisition, when children start out without knowing either syntax or the meanings of any words, children are aided in their task by hypothesizing a set of potential meanings for each utterance heard. For example, a child hearing the utterance John entered the room would look out into her environm...
متن کاملAdvanced Airflow Modelling Using Naive Physics for Odour Localisation
To date, robotics has had limited success at operating in unstructured environments. Part of the problem is the lack of commonsense reasoning. One area of commonsense reasoning is Naive Physics, the practice of using intuitive rules to reason about the physical environment. Researchers have explored relevant philosophical issues, attempted to develop logical formalisations, and developed system...
