Problem System

Overview

The problem system is a core component of the Copycat architecture that manages the representation and handling of analogical reasoning problems. This system defines the structure and properties of problems that the system attempts to solve.

Key Features

Problem representation
Problem loading
Problem validation
Solution tracking
State management

Problem Types

Basic Problems
- String problems
- Pattern problems
- Rule problems
- Mapping problems
Composite Problems
- Multi-step problems
- Hierarchical problems
- Network problems
- Context problems
Special Problems
- Test problems
- Debug problems
- Meta-problems
- Derived problems

Usage

Problems are created and managed through the problem system:

# Create a problem
problem = Problem(initial_state, target_state)

# Load a problem
problem = Problem.load_from_file(file_path)

# Solve a problem
solution = problem.solve()

Dependencies
