5. Context in Different Domains
5.1. Shared physical environment
One of the most obvious and straight-forward commonalities is a shared spatial location or time. This can either mean that a model is learned at a particular location and time and then applied at similar location or time (e.g. on Sunday in church), or it can mean that there is a spatial and temporal commonality between conversers allowing a listener to infer the meaning of indexicals. Such physical commonalities are, by their nature, readily indentifiable. This means that laws of spatial and temporal context are among the most amenable of all contexts to analyse. For an introduction to the situation calculus approach for this type of commonality see [2].
