A.2 Glossary of Specialized Terms
Abduction: A general form of inference that goes from data describing something to a hypothesis that accounts for the data. Often in an OpenCog context, this refers to the PLN abduction rule, a specific First-Order PLN rule (If A implies C, and B implies C, then maybe A is B), which embodies a simple form of abductive inference. But OpenCog may also carry out abduction, as a general process, in other ways.
Action Selection: The process via which the OpenCog system chooses which Schema to enact, based on its current goals and context.
Active Schema Pool: The set of Schema currently in the midst of Schema Execution.
