section{Planning and Scheduling} label{sec:planingscheduling} Automated planning is concerned with making a plan for solving a problem. When working with these kind of problems, the difficulty primarily lies in defining the problem in a precise yet relatively simple way. There are different approaches on how to do this, based on what kind of problem needs to be solved. Often their representation will include definitions of states, actions and functions which map states to a new state. The state
What is the significance of Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems for the philosophy of Mathematics? Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, established in the first half of the twentieth century, have transformed the way many mathematicians, philosophers and even computer scientists have thought about mathematics. Although throughout the entirety of his work, he is neither concise nor always clear; it is obvious Gödel's theorems unearth a series of restrictions of an axiomatic and mechanical view of mathematics
Large, a major cooperation company, created robots to clean up the waste. While this occurred, the world’s population would spend their days aboard the Axiom in outer space. At first glance, the Axiom displays advanced forms of technology, but upon further inspection, there are major issues with this space cruise ship. All passengers on the Axiom have access to a hover chair and have the option to consume any food with a push of a button. The human race put all of their trust into robots, creating
(femininity) with the over-determined object choice (male-embodied masculinity). And in many of the scrutiny and debates, of then female masculinity erroneously becomes coterminous with lesbianism. However, not all female masculinities are lesbianism (i.e., not all lesbians are masculine and not all lesbians are female) [Sedgwick (1995) in Berger, et al. (1995)]. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick points this out in “Constructing Masculinity,” as she worked on four axioms of gender studies. First, that sometimes
design and build new landscapes. The landscape I analyzed was Tim Horton’s field. I will look closely at the stadium as a whole and particularly the actually field. This essay will look at the socio-economic factors that decided everything from the choice of the name to the actual design and build of the stadium; there will be direct comparisons of the previous field to reinforce my points. Tim Horton’s field lies in the middle of an area that used to be Hamilton’s biggest job and economic provider
Mathematics is different from some other disciplines such as art and music in that it builds upon itself. It has traditionally been based on a series of axioms and theorems derived from these axioms, from which more theorems can be derived. Therefore, when an essay asks us to eliminate a concept fundamental to mathematics, it is difficult to make a choice since each concept has its merits and is necessary for understanding concepts that build upon it. This essay, although not feasible to implement in
to eat a hamburger after a fulfilling work out the pros are: the hamburger was delicious, the cons: one now has to work off the burger they so hastily ate. Regardless if one sees the impact of the decisions they make, the pros and cons affect ones choices inevitably. Andrew Stanton uses these pros and cons and shows how they affect one’s life in his movie Wall-E. Wall-E focuses on the aspects technology has on humans living in a disposable society and the world around them. Now more than ever education
concludes that there exists no such thing as ‘a priori’ morality and that “God is a useless and costly hypothesis” (28). In this paper, I will be rebutting Sartre’s moral nihilism argument since it lacks apparent linkage between the notion of freedom of choice and the idea that ‘a priori’ morality does not exist. Sartre discussed Thus, the idea of ‘God’, a being whose existence entails purpose, seems absurd to Sartre. The one being that satisfies the first principle of existentialism is man: “Man first
of wholeness’. This feature leads to some interesting results: As a consequence of the adequacy of a category the structure turns out to be a model on its own. The self-application leads on the level of the axioms to the boolean lattice of all substructures and on the level of the terms of axioms to semantical boolean lattices, which may seen as basic units for the whole language. Thus the understanding of the structure of ‘wholeness’ takes for granted that there is a pre-understanding of the very
Police Interrogation Tactics A confession at any cost In the United States, law enforcement officers are infamously known for violating average citizen’s constitutional rights in order to get a confession. Instead of being innocent ‘til proven guilty, the roles are actually swapped. The minute you are booked for an alleged crime you may have committed, your chances of walking away are slim. But is this actually feasible? Is the law enforcement that is supposedly there to protect us, in reality

There are about ten TV providers in the US, however in a given market there is only typically three choices for paid TV, Dish Network, Direct TV and a Cable Company (Comcast, Time Warner, WOW, Cox Cable, Etc.). Although it may be easy for a customer to switch companies, there aren’t many options for the customer to choose from in their select market.
Ayn Rand and Objectivism By Danil Kolesnikov Ayn Rand, a Russian-American philosopher who had influenced Western society in 20th century with her ideas of rational egoism, laissez-faire capitalism, elevation of reason and comprehensive philosophical system called Objectivism. Alisa Rosenbaum (her original name) was born and raised in Russian Empire in the beginning of 20th century. She was from a well-to-do family. Her father was a successful entrepreneur who run his own pharmacy and her mother
the concepts of femininity and masculinity and the effects on a hierarchical structure in society and the roles of that structure in society. My point of view is simple and straightforward and based on one axiom which I will ask you for the sake of this writing to assume to be true. This axiom is stated as follows; “Before the beginning was a cause and the entire purpose of the cause was the creation of effect.” This in most forms is an extension of a religious positions where the cause is identified
appeared to be a normal human without any great power to speak of, Meursault held a great power in Albert Camus’ The Stranger: the power of choice. As the comic book axiom states, this great power could not come without an equally great responsibility; Meursault had to have a strong individual moral code and be willing to deal with the consequences of his choices. By characterizing Meursault as a heroic figure who tells the truth even when it will bring certain death, Albert Camus demonstrates the importance
To begin his essay and to convey an idea, Ralph Waldo Emerson builds up the opening lines with a charismatic gusto; to which his word choice is very particular, because the words he chooses directly influences his tone throughout these three paragraphs. His tone seems friendly and wise, it could be compared to the “old man at the corner-store” type character; on a lazy summer day, always genuine and offering down to earth advice over a cup of lemonade. It creates such an atmosphere for the audience
Choice #1 - The Ends and the Means The phrase “the end justifies the means” originates from the most famous writing of Niccolo Machiavelli titled On Principalities which is most commonly referred to as The Prince (McCormick, 2014). Machiavelli endorses with this phrase the approach of doing anything that is required to obtain the end result you desire. The doctrine does not discriminate between the technique used, be it good or evil, truth or lies and so on in order to obtain the preferred end

The term self confidence essentially means to have trust and faith in oneself. A self confident person in a sense is able to act on opportunities, face challenges, and take on difficult situations without the fear of failing. Similarly to how the foundation of a successful experience is confidence, the foundation of confidence is also one and/or multiple successful experience(s). The title explores this phenomenon by stating that humans are only confident within themselves and/or their knowledge
for the taking of over 500,000 square miles of land from the Mexican people. Additionally, the taking of Mexico’s lands was by no means justified by the self-proclaimed, entitled ideology of the American people Manifest Destiny was a very prevalent axiom in the 19th Century to the inhabitants of the United States. It was thought to of provided justification for the
Many social interactions we encounter on a daily basis that involve personal decisions simultaneously involve decisions made by others that affect the overall outcome. Any situation in which the outcome is dependent on the choices of two or more people is what defines an interactive decision. Game theory studies the human behavior involved in these strategic settings, which surround the interactive decisions. In order to label a social interaction a game there needs to be two or more decision making
