190 ;;Quote: a heuristic domain must be observable with sufficient continuity and stability to make heuristics useful

191 ;;Quote: very few fields admit automatic data acquisition for developing heuristics

191 ;;Quote: developing heuristics by analogy appears to be better than specialization and generalization; e.g., find examples before proofs

199 ;;Quote: a heuristic is a contingent piece of guiding knowledge; limited scope

199+;;Quote: a maxim like 'compose two operations and study the result' generates too many possibilities; use an heuristic instead

200 ;;Quote: in almost all cases, the discoveries made by AM were unexpected or unknown by the author; not obvious from AM's heuristics

200 ;;Quote: AM selected a slot of some concept and worked to fill it; started with 100 concepts, about 20 slots for each (e.g., Examples, Conjectures)

201 ;;Quote: to accomplish a task, AM obeyed relevant heuristics; they caused entries to be filled in and defined new concepts and tasks

204 ;;Quote: while most heuristic search programs use heuristics to prune, AM used heuristics to create the search space

204+;;Quote: almost half of the concepts proposed by AM's heuristics were interesting

204 ;;Quote: each AM heuristic applied to a concept and all its specializations; so interpreter only considered potentially relevant heuristics

207 ;;Quote: of AM's first 200 concepts, 124 were judged acceptable; of the next 300 concepts, only 29 were acceptable; AM started with 114 concepts

220 ;;Quote: the heuristics used by AM clustered at the root and leaves of the concept specialization tree

225 ;;Quote: EURISKO rests on not differentiating between meta-level heuristics about heuristics from object-level heuristics

231 ;;Quote: the slot of an AM unit is like an attribute/value pair where the value need not be stored explicitly

236 ;;Quote: EURISKO uses a large number of specialized slots; allows a condition to be an atom in some slot instead of bulky, if/then rules

241 ;;Quote: EURISKO won the 1981 Traveler game; first attempt at a miniatures battle game (several hundred rules and constraints)

242 ;;Quote: for the 1981 Traveler game, Lenat culled the heuristics generated by EURISKO every 12 hours or so; neither could have won alone
