AW: Interestingly, this topic [abductive inference] overlaps with planning.
Exactly. Resolving a surprise through an explanation and solving a problem through a plan of action are dual species of
inquiry in general.
This is one of the themes at the top of my work on Inquiry Driven Systems. See, for example, the statement of research
interests I submitted with my application to grad school back in the early 90s.

<QUOTE>
This inquiry is guided by two questions that express themselves in many different guises. In their most laconic and
provocative style, self-referent but not purely so, they typically bring a person to ask:
* Why am I asking this question?
* How will I answer this question?
Cast in with a pool of other questions these two often act as efficient catalysts of the inquiry process, precipitating
and organizing what results. Expanded into general terms these queries become tantamount to asking:
* What accumulated funds and immediate series of experiences lead up to the moment of surprise that causes the asking of
a question?
* What operational resources and planned sequences of actions lead on to the moment of solution that allows the ending
of a problem?
Phrased in systematic terms, they ask yet again:
* What capacity enables a system to exist in states of question?
* What competence enables a system to exit from its problem states?
