Hello,

I've got a question concerning default logic. I'm using the tutorial by
Grigoris Antoniou (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=344588.344602)
so it is probably the most basic version.

Suppose:

D = { A(x) : B(x) / C(x) } the default d1
W = { A(j), not(C(x)) } the facts

Given this (W,D) would PI(d1) be a process? In the tutorial I could not
find a reason why p1 cannot be executed since A(j) is an element of W
and not(B(x)) is not, but that would mean both C(x) and not(C(x)) can be
concluded and I find that quite unintuitive.

Would this process (if it really is a process) also be an extension ?
Given that d1 is the only default, it is automatically closed and only
the succesfulness of the process is in question.

Hope you can help me,
Dimitri
