The Knowledge Base

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A knowledge base is a collection of rules plus established facts — the system's entire expertise, laid on the table where anyone can inspect it.

Show

The expertise sits in one place and the reasoning engine in another; either can be replaced without touching the other.

Watch for

No rule says when to run — the procedures that use the knowledge supply all the running.
