Abstract: The definition of concepts is a central problem in commonsense reasoning. Many
themes in nonmonotonic reasoning concern implicit and explicit definability. Implicit
definability in nonmonotonic logic is always relative to the context - the current
theory of the world. We show that fixed point equations provide a generalization
of explicit definability, which correctly captures the relativized context. Theories
expressed within this logical framework provide implicit definitions of concepts.... (Update)
