Hi Phil, In the language I am using
* goal A is a subgoal of goal B if achieving goal A is a special case of goal B * a top-level supergoal of a system, is a goal of the system that is not a subgoal of any other goal of the system (to a significant degree) * a meta-goal is a goal that is specifically "about' goals So, it seems that my "metagoals" are what you would like to call "supergoals"? I don't consider there is any "correct" language for stuff like this, but I believe my use of "supergoal" is more standard than yours... ben On 12/22/06, Philip Goetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't think these things you're calling supergoals should be called supergoals. A supergoal should be something like, "Clear things off my goal stack", or, "Maximize my estimated integrated discounted future utility." Supergoals would not be representable in the language you use to represent subgoals. They most likely have no explicit representation at all. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
