Tweety Triangle and Nixon Diamond #

[Vel96] [GP96] [AP12]

The two classic default-reasoning testbeds, as finite world types shared by the rival accounts in Studies/Veltman1996, Studies/GoldszmidtPearl1996, and Studies/AsherPelletier2013:

  1. Tweety Triangle (specificity): birds normally fly; penguins are birds; penguins normally don't fly. The more specific default wins.
  2. Nixon Diamond (conflicting defaults): Quakers are normally pacifist; Republicans are normally not; Nixon is both.
