Abstract
A rules-based method and apparatus for discriminating amongst a plurality of facts to arrive at a best result applies at least three primary decision-making rules, ie. (1) it is usually undesirable to use an input in combination with a fact which was based on that particular input; (2) using a fact based on several inputs is usually better than using a fact based on a single input; and (3) using a fact based on a shorter series of relationships is usually better than using a fact based on a longer series of relationships.
