| Abstract | The Language E is a simple declarative language for describing the eeects of action occurrences within a given narrative, using an ontology of actions, time points and uents (i.e. properties which can change their truth values over time). This paper shows how E may be extended to deal with ramiications. More precisely, we show how Language E domain descriptions can include statements describing permanent relationships or constraints between uents, and how the model theoretic semantics of E can be extended in an intuitive way to ensure that the eeects of actions are appropriately propagated via such statements, whilst retaining E's simple approach to the frame problem. This results in a simple model of causality appropriate for many domains involving actions and change. |
