No, they are just ways of influencing an agent. Truth is local. You don't need to posit absolute truth to influence a computationally bound agent into making a less than optimal decision. You simply need to lie effectively to it. :I thought we had stetted that these things just don't :exist; and that the only :things we can rely upon are effective procedures. And isn't the idea that all we can rely on are effective procedures a throwback to reductionist debates of a prior century? ;) Bill de hOra
