In the former case there is a mapping from the parts of the representation onto the conatituents of the content. In the latter case, there is not; aome of the conatituenta of the content are settled by background factora . I centrast this diatinction with that between contezt dependent and contezt independent ascriptions of content. I note that in cases where the ascriber of content sharea the background with the agent, one is inclined to ascribe homomorphic content of a sort that does not have a fized truth-value to a representation. Thi1 leads to the notion of relative information. Soma UIIB for relative information are noted. Finally, the di1tinctiona developed are used to distinguish three type& of self-knowledge and account for their relations.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/248","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0248.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/248.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/248","volume":{"slug":"1985","title":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1985","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/","year":1985,"location":"Los Angeles, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Aravind Joshi","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"General","track":"General","number":248,"pages":{"first":1238,"last":1241},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
