BELIEF: Implementation of Paris and Vencovska's model of belief

areas/reasonng/defeasbl/belief/
Paris and Vencovska's paper provides a mathematical model of an agent's belief in an event by identifying it with his ability to imagine the event within the context of his previous experience. This approach leads to beliefs having properties different from those normally ascribed to it [1]. The package includes a brief introduction, an implementation of Paris and Vencovska's model of belief and a description of the implementation.
