symbolic state representation

Symbolic state representation is a method used in computer systems and artificial intelligence to describe a system's condition or situation using symbols or symbols-based language. Instead of relying on raw data or numbers, it uses meaningful symbols to capture essential aspects of the environment or system state. This approach makes it easier for computers to process, reason, and make decisions by working with abstract, human-readable descriptions rather than complex data alone. It’s like using labels and symbols to quickly communicate and understand what’s happening within a system.
