*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_century 1611]
==Definitions==
*1: a [[change]] or a set of changes that [[corrects]] or improves something
*2: a new version of something : something (such as a piece of [[writing]] or a [[song]]) that has been corrected or changed
*3: [[study]] of [[information]] that was studied before
==Description==
'''Belief revision''' is the [[process]] of changing beliefs to take into account a new piece of [[information]]. The [[logical]] formalization of belief revision is researched in [[philosophy]], in databases, and in artificial intelligence for the design of rational agents.
What makes belief revision non-trivial is that several different ways for performing this operation may be possible. For example, if the current [[knowledge]] includes the three [[facts]] "A is true", "B is true" and "if A and B are true then C is true", the introduction of the new information "C is false" can be done preserving [[consistency]] only by removing at least one of the three facts. In this case, there are at least three different ways for performing revision. In general, there may be several different ways for changing [[knowledge]].
In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historiography historiography], '''historical revisionism''' is the reinterpretation of [[orthodox]] views on [[evidence]], [[motivations]], and [[decision]]-making processes surrounding a historical [[event]]. Though the word revisionism is sometimes used in a [[negative]] way, constant revision of [[history]] is part of the [[normal]] scholarly [[process]] of writing history.
==Quote==
When [[knowledge]] is acquired, it is first a [[concept]]. A concept that may be new or a concept that has its beginnings from previous [[information]]. When a new concept is presented, [[the mind]] searches for a correlating concept or information regarding this new concept. When no new information is retrieved from [[memory]], then [[confusion]] arises and then an element of [[fear]], yes [[ambivalence]] for the new information. This is a [[normal]] [[process]]. When knowledge of new information comes forth, the determined outcome of the new information is already formed in the [[perceived]] knowledge. So you can see that new information requires overcoming the [[inherent]] elements of the reactive [[physical]] being and something else, a new element is required. Humans have this phrase, "[[open mind]]", and upon examination of this state of mind, one will notice the [[ability]] to set aside previous concepts inherent in this action and [[absorb]] the new knowledge. So, here we are [[dissecting]] this process and the element of open mindedness which is called many things, but foremost should be [[truth]]. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1994-01-09-Understanding#Understanding.2C_Thought.2C_Knowledge.2C_Spirit_of_Truth JarEl]
