Document Summary
The word problem is used in many different ways. It assumes that it must be solved: but. These are three different ways in which people look at problems. Set of circumstances in which there is no ambiguity whatsoever once some thought has been given to what is happening or needs to be done. A gap between an initial and a goal states. Has no single answer that is definitely known to be correct. At the heart of the problem there is an issue that needs to be tackled. There may be several, equally valid, solutions: messes. A set of circumstances in which there is extreme ambiguity and in which there may well be disagreement. There is a whole range of possible definitions and descriptions of what is going on, and there may be no way of knowing whether a solution exists at all. Problem solving: problem space: initial current state, the goal state and possible states in between.
