Abstract: Recent research on reasoning about action has shown that the traditional logic form of domain constraints is problematic to represent ramifications of actions that are related to causality of domains. To handle this problem properly, as proposed by some researchers, it is necessary to describe causal relations of domains explicitly in action theories. In this paper, we address this problem from a new point of view. Specifically, unlike other researchers viewing causal relations as some kind of... (Update)

.... prediction and postdiction and ignoring this issue may cause difficulties to derive correct solutions in reasoning about action [2, 3, 11]. In this paper, we address two specific types of defeasible information related to temporal prediction and postdiction reasoning with...
