QRM has suitable facilities to reason about dynamical systems in qualitative terms. It uses Kenneth Forbus’s Qualitative Process Theory (QPT) to describe a physical system and constructs the envisionment tree for a given initial situation. In this thesis, we concentrate on knowledge representation issues, and basic qualitative reasoning tasks based on QPT. We offer some insights about what MVL can provide for writing Qualitative Physics programs.ix, 63 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMultivalued Logics (MVL)Qualitative Process Theory (QPT)Qualitative PhysicsEnvisioningCornmonsense ReasoningQ335.5 .S46 1993Artificial intelligence.Reasoning.Physics.Thesis
