# More Notes on "A Clash of Intuitions"

Raad Al-Asady, A. Narayanan

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 682-688.

## Abstract

A path-based inheritance logic is proposed for handling nonmonotonic inheritance structures. The formalism is called exceptional inheritance logic (ElL) . Exceptional information which is nevertheless inheritable is encapsulated in a class, called an exceptional class. ElL also takes into account a difference between acquired and inheritable properties. The paper describes ways in which exceptional classes are identified and subsequently located in inheritance structures. The on-path versus off-path debate JS reassessed using ElL.
