The idea
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.
In practice
The expertise sits in one place and the reasoning engine in another; either can be replaced without touching the other.
Where people slip
No rule says when to run — the procedures that use the knowledge supply all the running.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
