them. Indeed, there were no contradictory properties both in the genome

and the body of the KO before it accepted the grey-shaded assertions as a

result of morphogenesis.

Not all the elements of an incoming knowledge token could be consumed

by a KO. In our example (Figure 1.9), some of the structural elements (AirLine,

EfcientNewPlane, seeks—soughtBy) were

• Too different to the genome of this particular KO, so the similarity

factor was too low and the KO did not nd any match to its TBox.

Hence, the KO was not able to generate any replacement hypotheses

also called propositiona ...
