...IN COMMUNICATING REALITY* REALITY, WE CONSTRUCT RUTH D. H I N E S Macquarie University, N.S. W., Australia At first I saw Don Juan simply as a rather peculiar man who knew a great deal.., but the people.., believed that he had some sort of "secret knowledge", that he was a "brujo". The Spanish word brujo means, in English... sorcerer. It connotes essentially a person who has extraordinary.., powers. I had known Don Juan for a whole year before he took me into his confidence. One day he explained that he possessed a certain knowledge that he had learned from a teacher, a "benefactor" as he called him, who had directed him in a kind of apprenticeship. Don Juan had, in turn, chosen me to serve as his apprentice, but he warned me that I would have to make a very deep commitment and that the training was long and arduous... My field notes disclose the subjective version of what I perceived while undergoing the experience. That version is presented h e r e . . . My field notes also reveal the content of Don Juan's system of beliefs. I have condensed long pages of questions and answers between Don Juan and myself in order to avoid reproducing the repetitiveness of conversation... (The Teachings ofDonJuan~.A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, Carlos Castaneda, 1970, pp. 14, 24, 25). We stood together, looking down into the valley below...t "What do you see before you?" said the Master. "Well, in the valley, I see buildings of various kinds, spread over a large area, and surrounded...

...Constraint Logic Programming in Prolog: Hanjie Puzzle Solver Lu´ Cleto and Jo˜o Marinheiro ıs a FEUP-PLOG, Turma 3MIEIC05, Group 23 {ei11077,ei11129}@fe.up.pt http://www.fe.up.pt Abstract. The purpose of this project was to use constraint logic programming in Prolog to implement a solver for the 2D puzzle, Hanjie. For this purpose we used the clp(FD) library provided by SICStus Prolog 4.2.3, specifically the sum/3 and automaton/3 combinatorial constraints. The program we developed is able to solve puzzles with dimensions up to 88x88, with only one possible solution, in less than one second. When there are multiple solutions, the execution time for the obtaining the first solution varies with the number of possible solutions. These results show that the execution time of the program is primarily affected by the amount of possible results. While larger grid dimensions do increase the execution time, the increase is linear if the number of possible solutions is maintained. On the other hand, increasing the number of possible solutions will lead to an exponential growth in execution time. 1 Introduction The goal of this project is to use constraint logic programming in Prolog to develop a logic program capable of solving a decision problem in the form of the 2D puzzle, Hanjie. This puzzle consists of a rectangular grid with ’clues’ on top of every column and to the left of every row that indicate the number and length of gray blocks in that column/row. To achieve this goal, first...
