Abstract

This paper brings together a collection of new ideas from generative refinement planning with some more well established results from theorem proving. We add full quantification to a generative refinement planning framework, not by expanding to a universal base [9], but by Skolemizing. We apply our results to causal link planning which leads to a new conflict resolution strategy, a notion called weakening the label.
