Abstract :
A framework for applying cognitive abstraction in the domain of qualitative physics to suppress irrelevant distinctions between the possible behaviors is presented. Cognitive abstraction is especially useful for inferring the behavior of a physical system based on incremental qualitative simulation. The framework of a prototype of cognitive abstraction, based on QSIM, is presented. The limitations of the approach are discussed
