情報の部分性とフレーム問題の解決不能性

抄録

The frame problem is very important in the context of knowledge representation of both humans and computers. The present paper discusses the frame problem for humans from a viewpoint of artificial intelligence. A major claim here is that the frame problem is unsolvable for humans as well. This claim is supported by several examples. Another major claim is that from a viewpoint of partiality of information, the frame problem must be discussed generally in a wide sense of the term, instead of being subdivided into the problem of description and the problem of processing. The unsolvability of the frame problem for humans should not be regarded as a limitation of human intelligence. Contrariwise, the flexibility of human intelligence is possible thanks to the fact that they cannot solve the frame problem; i. e., the fact that they make mistakes from time to time.
