The Reiter's Theorem

Reiter's Theorem is a principle in knowledge representation and reasoning, particularly within artificial intelligence. It states that if a knowledge base contains certain rules, and if those rules consistently lead to a specific conclusion, then that conclusion can also be derived from a simplified version of the original knowledge base. Essentially, it highlights that complex systems of knowledge can often be distilled into simpler forms without losing essential truths, making it easier to understand and utilize information in various logical or computational frameworks.
