Working Memory

• Types of WM items
• Just like structured programming, items can have types
• You can enumerate values
• or have integer, real or really anything.
• In Clips you can also have complex templates and objects.
• We'll talk about hierarchies with semantic nets, but it is based on inheritence.
• Subclasses are specialisations of Classes.
• A mammal class, might have a specialisation of primates.
• The classes have slots.
• This is essentially a frame.
• Rules inspect working memory and can change it.
