Abstract

Symbolic reasoning systems have leveraged propositional logic frameworks to build diagnostics tools capable of describing complex artifacts, while also allowing for a controlled and efficacious search over failure modes. These diagnostic systems represent a complex and varied context in which to explore general intelligence. This paper explores the application of a different reasoning system to such frameworks, specifically, the Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System. It shows how statements can be built describing an artifact, and that NARS is capable of diagnosing abnormal states within examples of said artifact.
