Captions available
The idea
Where a knowledge base's rules run out, the system is silent — not "I don't know," which would itself need a rule, but bare nothing.
In practice
A plant with only brown tips: no rule body is satisfied, the fixed point is the facts themselves, and the clinic offers nothing.
Where people slip
Silence and ignorance-awareness are different capabilities; this machinery has only the first.
