Generality and Subsumption
- Inheritence is intimately related to generality and subsumption.
- The eat frame is more general than the eat-chinese frame. Why?
- There are fewer constraints on it. Eat-chinese is still an eat, but
there are eats that are not eat-chinese (e.g. eat-Italian)
- Eat subsumes eat-chinese.
- What are the constraints on eat-chinese that are not on eat?
- How do defaults effect this subsumption? Can you eat-chinese
with a fork?
- What about things that break the essential character of an
object? E.g. toy-dog and dog? Is there an example for eating?
