    Challenges→The frame problem makes complete action specification virtually impossible in common-sense AI settings

    Skilled human agents navigate common-sense environments via embodied know-how (Ryle's 'knowing how') rather than exhaustive propositional specification.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Expert cyclists balance without conscious rule-following, suggesting embodied know-how precedes articulate propositional knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Linguistic specification of sensorimotor skills (e.g., 'adjust grip pressure') lags behind actual mastery; explicit rules are post-hoc.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Infants navigate physical spaces effectively before language acquisition, indicating embodied know-how is developmentally foundational.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Expert agents can articulate principles (physics, technique, strategy) they rely on; this propositional knowledge partly constitutes skill.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Embodied skills require prior propositional learning (rules, warnings, cultural norms) internalized through practice, not replacing it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Ryle's distinction collapses under scrutiny: knowing-how and knowing-that are epistemically interdependent, not categorically separate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
