Modeling problems of identity in Little Red Riding Hood

TL;DR

This paper explores how the Xapagy architecture models identity issues in narrative reasoning, using Little Red Riding Hood to demonstrate its unique approach to representing instances and identity in stories.

Contribution

It introduces a novel method for representing identity in narrative reasoning architectures, demonstrated through a case study of Little Red Riding Hood.

Findings

Xapagy effectively models identity challenges in stories

The approach provides a new perspective on narrative reasoning

The case study illustrates the architecture's capabilities

Abstract

This paper argues that the problem of identity is a critical challenge in agents which are able to reason about stories. The Xapagy architecture has been built from scratch to perform narrative reasoning and relies on a somewhat unusual approach to represent instances and identity. We illustrate the approach by a representation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the architecture, with a focus on the problem of identity raised by the narrative.
