Abstract: : The main contribution of this
paper is a method of axiomatizing actions and
their effects in standard first-order logic in a
way that solves the frame problem. It has
long been thought that the frame problem
makes monotonic logics inadequate for reasoning
about action; this paper shows how to
achieve the benefits of a nonmonotonic logic
using a monotonic logic. The use of firstorder
logic permits considerable simplicity and
a frame axiom that is explicit, fixed, and intuitive.
