The name of the context being defined.
A boolean.
A boolean.
A list of symbols.
A list of actions.
A string.
Defines a context named context-name . If a context of that name already exists then it, and all the rules in it, are first removed.
If
refractoriness
is
nil
then a rule instantiation remains eligible to fire again after firing once. If
refractoriness
is
t
(the default) then each rule instantiation will only fire once.
The
auto-return
indicates, when there are no more rules to be fired in the context, whether to signal an error or simply to pass control to the next context on the agenda. The default value
t
passes control on without an error.
The strategy is the conflict resolution strategy for the context, consisting of a list of tactic names.
The meta is a list of actions which make up the optional meta-interpreter for the context.
If
documentation
is given, then it should be a string. The value can be retrieved by calling the function
documentation
with doc-type
context
.
