From Doyle to AGM: A Survey and an Implementation Roadmap for Belief Change
This paper presents a targeted narrative review establishing the historical and theoretical foundations for computational belief change implementation. Seeded by Doyle and London's foundational 1980 taxonomy, we trace the evolution of belief revision from computational origins through the theoretical transformation of the AGM framework to contemporary approaches. Our analysis demonstrates how pre-AGM computational pragmatism relates to AGM theoretical constructs, revealing both continuities and transformations across this evolution. We analyze how each taxonomical category evolved in the post-AGM era, identifying the theoretical foundations and historical precedents that inform contempora...
