11. The New Bit Text A- easy to represent content
No desire to document the process
Text B- easy to represent content
Text A and Text B disagree
I like A: Why?
Multi-Vocality

12. Author’s position Like War
Retribution
I am going to kill you because you killed my brother
Anticipation
I am going to kill you because I killed your brother
Diplomacy
I am going to kill my brother and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it
HHGTTG, Adams 1978

Paisin & Bradley 2012

17. What the aim is

18. What it is not CRM and CRMinf are not AI
No attempt to automate reasoning
The CRMinf extension only for “normal” cases
Anything not “vanilla default” use full description

19. Conclusion CRMinf can document use of texts
Full detail not always required
Shortcuts using “normal” values may reduce documentation burden
Development Effort Concentrates On
What are the shortcuts AND
What is “normal”
