| "text": "Usually, models are thought of as being given through a specification of a number of properties and relations defined on the domain. If the domain is infinite, this specification (as well as many operations with such entities) may require non-trivial settheoretical assumptions. The process is thus often non-finitistic. It is doubtful whether we can realistically expect such structures to be somehow actually involved in our understanding of a sentence or in our contemplation of its meaning, notwithstanding the fact that this meaning is too often thought of as being determined by the class of possible worlds in which the sentence in question is true. It seems to me much likelier that what is involved in one's actual understanding of a sentence S is a mental anticipation of what can happen in one's step-by-step investigation of a world in which S is true. (p. 129) The first stage of constructing a surface model begins with the entities occurring in a sentence or story. During the construction, new facts may he asserted that block certain extensions or facilitate others. A standard model is the limit of a surface model that has been extended infinitely deep, but such infinite processes are not a normal part of understanding.", | |

This approach leads to an infinite sequence of algorithms ranging from plausible inference to exact deduction; they are analogous to the varying levels of search in game playing programs. Level 0 would simply translate a sentence into a conceptual graph, but do no inference. Level I would do framelike plausible inferences in joining other background graphs. Level 2 would check constraints by testing the model against the laws. Level 3 would join more background graphs. Level 4 would check further constraints, and so on. If the constraints at level n+l are violated, the system would have to backtrack and undo joins at level n. If at some level, all possible extensions are blocked by violations of the laws, then that means the original sentence (or story) was inconsistent with the laws. If the surface model is infinitely extendible, then the original sentence or story was consistent.", | |

| "text": "Exact inference techniques may let the surface models grow indefinitely; but for many applications, they are as impractical as letting a chess playing program search the entire game tree. Plausible inferences with varying degrees of confidence are possible by stopping the surface models at different levels of extension. For story understanding, the initial surface model would be derived completely from the input story. For consistency checks in updating a data base, the initial model would be derived by joining new information to the preexisting data base. For question-answering, a query graph would be joined to the data base; the depth of search permitted in extending the join would determine the limits of complexity of the questions that are answerable. As a result of this theory, algorithms for plausible and exact inference can be compared within the same framework; it is then possible to make informed trade-offs of speed vs. consistency in data base updates or speed vs. completeness in question answering.", | |

The NLP system processes two kinds of Augmented Phrase Structure rules: decoding rules parse language inputs and create graphs that represent their meaning, and encoding ru/es scan the graphs to generate language output. Since the NLP structures are very similar to conceptual graphs, much of the implementation amounts to identifying some feature or combination of features in NLP for each construct in conceptual graphs. Constructs that would be difficult or inefficient to implement directly in NLP rules can be supported by LISP functions.

In terms of graph grammars, the canonical formation rules are contextfree. This section defines logical operations that are contextsensitive, They enforce tighter constraints on graph derivations, but they require more complex pattern matching. Formarion rules and logical operations are complementary mechanisms for building models of possible worlds and checking their consistency, Sowa (1976) discussed two ways of handling logical operators in conceptual graphs: the abstract approach, which treats them as functions of truth values, and the direct approach, which treats implications, conjunctions, disjunctions, and negations as operations for building, splitting, and discarding conceptual graphs. That paper, however, merely mentioned the approach; this paper develops a notation adapted from Oantzen's sequents (1934), but with an interpretation based on Beinap's conditional assertions (1973) and with computational techniques similar to Hendrix's partitioned semantic networks (1975, 1979) .

Similar techniques are embodied in production systems, languages like PLANNER (Hewitt 1972) , and knowledge representation systems like KRL (Bobrow & Winograd 1977) .

When a law is violated, it blocks a context as a candidate for a possible world. A default, however, is optional; if contradicted, a default must be undone, and the context restored to the state before the default was applied. In the sample story, the next sentence might continue: \"The piggy bank was made of bronze, and when Mary hit it, a genie appeared and gave her two tickets to Animal House.\" This continuation violates all the default assumptions; it would be unreasonable to assume it in advance, but once given, it forces the system to back up to a context before the defaults were applied and join the new information to it.
