Abstract

We first elaborate on the definition of an elementary unit of knowledge, called the knowledge unit. Then we define three knowledge operators-knowledge extraction, knowledge generation and knowledge selection-aimed at being the elementary ways of reasoning. These are compared to the traditional deduction, induction and abduction reasoning operators, resulting in the proposal that our knowledge operators could be viewed as generalized interpretations of the standard deduction, induction and abduction reasoning procedures. We finalize by proposing them as the building blocks for universal intelligent systems
