Abstract
In the previous chapter I discussed conditionals and belief revision. One of the results of that discussion was that belief states should not simply be represented by a set of possible worlds, but rather by an ordering relation, or, equivalently, by a set of worlds plus a change function. I argued that the more common kind of change function, or revision policy, depends to a large degree on what the agent accepts. Still, a state that is represented by a set of worlds plus a change function contains more information than the state just represented by the set of worlds alone.
