1.6. Selection and Adjustment of Grain-Sizes
The ability to select a proper grain-size world for a given problem is fundamental to human intelligence and flexibility. The ability enables us to map the complex world around us into a simple one that is computationally tractable. At the same time, the attributes in question of the world are still preserved. As mentioned before, it is not necessarily true that any classification can achieve the goal.
How to select a proper grain-size is a domain-dependent problem mainly. We'll discuss some general principles below via semi-order spaces.
It has been shown that the compatibility of R and T is the foundation for assuring that is also a semi-order space. We will discuss below how to adjust R such that ...
