A counterfactual truth evaluation is presented based on Contradiction Removal Semantics. We show the adequacy of C RS to deene the notion of similarity needed for deening counterfactual truth.

A crucial aspect of problem-solving paradigms based on such models is that they include methods to automatically, and efficiently, change models when the init...
