Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a logical theory that connects perception, knowledge, and inference, drawing compelling inferences in situations where agents must determine whether another agent knows about an event that occurred outside their perception. The author presents a formal model that characterizes the world as fixed physical objects moving in space, and agents as entities with limited perception and knowledge. Using this framework, the author demonstrates how to infer that an agent cannot know about an occurrence if they had no way of finding out about it. Logical Perception is of interest to researchers and students working in the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind who seek to better understand the relationship between perception and knowledge, and desire a solid foundation for further research.
