# Against Truth
|
|
|
|
> Hey, what IS truth, man? [Beeblebrox, quoted in [Adams, 1978]]
|
|
|
|
*This title is, of course, a respectful nod to Feyerabend's Against Method*
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document is in two parts: a statement of a problem, and an account of an attempt to address it. The problem is stated briefly in the first chapter, and fleshed out in the following two with a history of attempts which have been made in the past to address it, and an analysis of what would be needed to solve it.
|
|
|
|
The second part starts with an account of a system built by the author in collaboration with Peter Mott, describing particularly how the problem was addressed by this system; subsequent chapters will describe the development of a further system, in which the analysis developed in the first section will be applied.
|
|
|
|
This document deals only with explanation. Issues relating to inference and especially to truth maintenance will undoubtedly be raised as it progresses, but such hares will resolutely not be followed.
