Roger Schank on Dependence - Dictionary of Arguments
Minsky I 219 Dependence/conceptual dependency/Schank/Minsky: In the early 1970s, Roger Schank developed ways to represent many situations in terms of a relatively few kinds of relations which he called conceptual dependencies. One of these, called P-Trans, represents a physical motion from one place to another. Another, called M-Trans, represents the sort of mental transportation involved when John tells Mary his telephone number; some information moves from John's memory to Mary's memory. A third type of conceptual dependency, called A-Trans, represents what is involved when Mary buys John's house. The house itself doesn't move at all, but its ownership is transferred from John's estate to Mary's estate. >Frames/Minsky._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
