Tracing the Reasoning Strategy

The example below illustrates how the formalization described in the previous sections accounts for the standard STRIPS solution to the planning problem described by axioms gif to gif. The successive mental situations constructed by STRIPS are shown below. For each mental situation, we list: (1) the current situation described by the database associated with that mental situation; (2) the subgoals (quoted sentences) that are in the goal stack associated with that mental situation, together with their respective location numbers; (3) the mental actions that are appropriate for each subgoal in the goal stack associated with that mental situation; and (4) the preference relations that hold among such appropriate actions at that mental situation.
