Abstract

This paper makes a case for the importance of a formal theory of context and contextual reasoning in agent systems, and proposes a channel theoretic account for modeling the intricacies of agent reasoning in context. Using an example of reasoning about perspectives we shown that this model fulfills the formal requirements for a theory of context, and offers a nice explanatory account of contextual reasoning in terms of information flow.
