| Abstract: | In this paper we describe in some detail a formal computer model of inferential discourse based on a belief system. The key
issue is that a logical model in a computer, based on rational sets, can usefully model a human situation based on irrational
sets. The background of this work is explained elsewhere, as is the issue of rational and irrational sets (Billinge and Addis,
in: Magnani and Dossena (eds.), Computing, philosophy and cognition, 2004; Stepney et al., Journey: Non-classical philosophy—socially
sensitive computing in journeys non-classical computation: A grand challenge for computing research, 2004). The model is based
on the Belief System (Addis and Gooding, Proceedings of the AISB’99 Symposium on Scientific Creativity, 1999) and it provides
a mechanism for choosing queries based on a range of belief. We explain how it provides a way to update the belief based on
query results, thus modelling others’ experience by inference. We also demonstrate that for the same internal experience,
different models can be built for different actors.
