Abstract:Abstraction has been extensively used in many areas of Artificial Intelligence. We present a general framework for analyzing abstraction and using it to explore a hidden danger, the "false proof problem". The existence of this problem is proved, a solution is proposed and an implementation of it that interfaces to a state of the art theorem prover (Otter [McC88]) is presented and discussed.
