What to represent in the world--types of entities

  Consider a reader. The reasoner exists in the world which we are familiar with, and many of the concepts in the texts being read will refer to that world or a world which is near to it in appearance. It is critical, then, that a reader understand the common entities of the world. These entities will be what is represented by the knowledge system of the reader.
