https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent%20calculus | The fluent calculus is a formalism for expressing dynamical domains in first-order logic. It is a variant of the situation calculus; the main difference is that situations are considered representations of states. A binary function symbol is used to concatenate the terms that represent facts that hold in a situation. ... |
