Abstract
Some embodiments of a method to reduce churn caused by excessive linking and unlinking have been presented. A rule engine can create a network having a number of nodes to evaluate a set of rules in a knowledge base. The rule engine may unlink a node in the network in response to an input of the node becoming empty in a session. The rule engine may then wait a predetermined period of time before allowing the node to be unlinked again during the session.
