Circumscription
Circumscription is a non-monotonic logic created by John McCarthy to formalize the common sense assumption that things are as expected unless otherwise specified. Circumscription was later used by McCarthy in an attempt to solve the frame problem. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumscription_(logic))
