Could you give a brief explanation, or a reference to one, of what you
mean by MBR ?  Your announcement talks as though it were a definite
field or technique or (collection of) method(s), but it seems to encompass
mechanical inference, qualitative reasoning, reasoning under
uncertainty, machine perception and temporal knowledge representation,
among others.  What is the difference between MBA and AI?
