Epistemic-entrenchment Characterization of Parikh's Axiom

چکیده
In this article, we provide the epistemicentrenchment characterization of the weak version of Parikh’s relevance-sensitive axiom for belief revision — known as axiom (P) — for the general case of incomplete theories. Loosely speaking, axiom (P) states that, if a belief set K can be divided into two disjoint compartments, and the new information φ relates only to the first compartment, then the second compartment should not be affected by the revision of K by φ. The above-mentioned characterization, essentially, constitutes additional constraints on epistemicentrenchment preorders, that induce AGM revision functions, satisfying the weak version of Parikh’s axiom (P).

A Brief Note About Rott Contraction
One of the ways to model contraction functions for belief sets is epistemic entrenchment. The first step was provided by Gärdenfors in [5], who defined epistemic entrenchment and a contraction function in terms of it and related the latter with the AGM contraction function. Later Hans Rott in [16] presented an entrenchment based contraction function that does not satisfy recovery. In this paper...
متن کاملCoherent Choice and Epistemic Entrechment (Preliminary Report)
1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The notion of the epistemic entrenchment has recently at t racted quite some attention in the AI community. It was introduced, first under the name "epistemic importance", by Peter G~irdenfors [7, 8]. He specified two possible "origins" of epistemic entrenchment: an information-theoretic appoach and a paradigm approach. However, neither of these approaches squares well...
متن کاملENTRENCHMENT KINEMATICS 101 yAbhaya
The AGM framework of belief dynamics fails to account for iterated belief change. This paper extends the AGM framework in order to solve this problem. As in the AGM, an epistemic input is represented as a single sentence. Unlike the AGM, however , a belief state is represented as an epistemic entrenchment relation. Three state transition functions { namely, entrenchment expansion, entrenchment ...
متن کاملTransmutations of Knowledge Systems
Within the AGM paradigm revision and contraction operators are constrained by a set of rationality postulates. The logical properties of a set of knowledge are not strong enough to uniquely determine a revision or contraction operation, therefore constructions for these operators rely on some form of underlying preference relation, such as a systems of spheres, or an epistemic entrenchment orde...
متن کاملEntrenchment of Knowledge Types 1 On the epistemic entrenchment of different types of knowledge expressed as conditionals in belief revision tasks
On the epistemic entrenchment of different types of knowledge expressed as conditionals in belief revision tasks Renée Elio Abstract Some belief revision theories appeal to the notion of epistemic entrenchment as a guide to choosing among alternative ways of removing inconsistency that new information may cause with existing beliefs. While belief revision theorists may not be interested in natu...
