# Spectra
Spectra is a general purpose planning system. It extends STRIPS-style planning by allowing arbitray first-order formulae for state descriptions and background knowledge rather than just predicates. This allows, for instance, handling domains with infinite or unbounded objects elegantly (among other things).

It extends STRIPS-style planning by allowing arbitray DCEC and first-order formulae for state descriptions, background knowledge, and action descriptions rather than just predicates.

## Scaling Up ##
Two approaches:
1. **Procedural Attachments**: Special purpose procedural code that can bypass strict formal reasoning.
2. *μ*-**methods**: Written in denotational proof language. Preserves soundness by letting us write down commonly used patterns of reasoning (a bit unwieldy integration now than the first approach)
```clojure
;; (removeFrom ?x ?y) => "Remove ?x from ?y"
;; (placeInside ?x ?y) ==> "Place ?x inside ?y"
(define-method planMethod [?b ?c ?d]
{:goal [(In ?b ?c) (In ?c ?d)]
:while [(In ?b ?d) (Empty ?c)
(< (size ?c) (size ?d))
(< (size ?b) (size ?c))]
:actions [(removeFrom ?b ?d) (placeInside ?b ?c) (placeInside ?c ?d)]})
```
Roughly, a method has conditions that the goal and background + start state should satisfy. If the conditions are satisfied, a plan template is generated (note the variables).
The planner then verifies if the plan template works, if so it outputs the plan.
