Artificial Intelligence / Unit 4   AI 0183 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Hard Constraints Only, For Now

Captions available

The idea

A hard constraint makes a combination flatly legal or illegal; a soft constraint merely prefers some assignments to others — and this unit is hard constraints only.

In practice

"The drummer cannot be on two stages at once" is hard; "the headliner would rather play late" is soft.

Where people slip

Preference gets its own arithmetic in Unit 7 — a declared scope, not an oversight.
