| Frame problem: The frame problem is a problem in artificial intelligence (AI) that arises when trying to represent the effects of actions on the world. The problem is that it is not enough to simply specify the effects of actions that change the world. We also need to specify the effects of actions that do not change the world, in order to avoid falsely believing that the world has changed when it has not._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Peter Norvig on Frame Problem - Dictionary of Arguments
Norvig I 279 Frame Problem/artificial intelligence/Norvig/Russell: The frame problem was first recognized by McCarthy and Hayes (1969)(1). Many researchers considered the problem unsolvable within first-order logic, and it spurred a great deal of research into non-monotonic logics. Philosophers from Dreyfus (1972)(2) to Crockett (1994)(3) have cited the frame problem as one symptom of the inevitable failure of the entire AI enterprise. The solution of the frame problem with successor-state axioms is due to Ray Reiter (1991)(4). Thielscher (1999)(5) identifies the inferential frame problem as a separate idea and provides a solution. In retrospect, one can see that Rosenschein’s (1985)(6) agents were using circuits that implemented successor-state axioms, but Rosenschein did not notice that the frame problem was thereby largely solved. Foo (2001)(7) explains why the discrete-event control theory models typically used by engineers do not have to explicitly deal with the frame problem: because they are dealing with prediction and control, not with explanation and reasoning about counterfactual situations. 1.
