Abstract
In this paper it is argued that a substantial part of realistic knowledge based systems (KBS) are not purely declarative. Also the existence of quite complex expert system shells seems to agree with this point of view. As a consequence of this, the traditional approach of looking at rules as logical implications seems to be inadequate in many cases. The main point of the paper is to suggest another formal approach for doing verification of KBS.
