Situation Theory

Situation Theory is a framework in knowledge representation and semantics that focuses on how people understand and interpret information in specific contexts or situations. It posits that meaning is not just about words in isolation but is shaped by the context in which they are used. In simple terms, it emphasizes that knowledge is often tied to particular circumstances, and understanding a statement or concept involves considering the relevant situations that give it meaning. This approach helps capture the nuances of everyday communication and thought.
