<ul>
<li>practical reason or will consists in the combination of deliberating and planning</li>
<li>Desires and beliefs range over states of affairs, while intentions range over actions and by extension, plans.</li>
<li>Intentions are persistent, whereas desires can be dropped at any time.</li>
<li>Intentions need not be holded forever.</li>
<li>Intentions drive means-end reasoning.</li>
<li>Beliefs constrain desires.</li>
<li>Intentions constrain future deliberation and planning.</li>
<li>Intentions influence beliefs upon which future practical reason is based.</li>
<li>Intentions imply a degree of commitment to a goal.</li>
<li>Intentions, beliefs and desires are required to be consistent. Beliefs are required to be consistent with other beliefs. Intentions with goals and beliefs and goals (analogously) with beliefs and intentions. We can thus say (so to speak) that the former are strongly consistent while the latter are weakly consistent 1. This condition is assumed to imply that of rationality.</li>
<li>Intentions, beliefs and desires need not be complete or, to put it simply, all-encompassing 2.</li>
<li>Beliefs are subject to revision.</li>
<li>Intentions and hence plans can be reconsidered</li>

The Bdi Model of Agency and Bdi Logics

public-notes


Welcome! And beware!  

## Purpose

This vault is the "[[learning-in-public|ar.swyx.learn-in-public]]" part of my Second Brain. If you share some of my interests, please [reach out](https://djradon.github.io)! 

## Contents

- [[t]] my personal wikipedia
- [[idea]] (not necessarily mine)
- Resource Notes, including highlights, thoughts and metadata, for various things:
  - [[ar]] mostly articles, papers and web pages
  - [[book]]
  - [[community]]
  - [[course]]
  - [[event]]
  - [[game]]
  - [[loc]]
  - [[org]]
  - [[user]] 
  - [[prdct]] mostly software products, but also ontologies
  - [[recipe]]
  - [[video]] movies, tv episodes, youtube, etc
- [[vs]]
- [[wanted]]
- Some "Metadata Notes":
  - [[tags]] which may refer to any and multiple (or none) of the above
  - [[c]]: ways to categorize resources
  - [[p]]: ways to assert things about resources (mostly abandoned)

In terms of the [[t.km.zettelkasten]] method, this wiki is a commingling of literature notes with something @Sönke-Ahrens warned about: a "personal Wikipedia or a database" [^1]. 

In terms of [[t.tm.getting-things-done]], it's references, someday-maybe, next actions, and public projects.

## Beware!

This is a cluttered cupboard of jumbled jottings riddled with inaccuracies, confusion, and mistakes.

## What This Is Not

- evergreen-notes/digital-garden: for "synthesized" / original-ish publishable big-idea notes that should evolve over time, props to @andy-matuschak and @maggie-appleton
- blog: for "point-in-time" items to be shared: personal news, articles, etc.
  - e.g., [[ar.substack.carpe-noctem]]
