(defrule birthday ?birthday <- (birthday ?name) ?data-fact <- (personal-data (name ?name) (age ?age)) => (modify ?data-fact (age (+ ?age 1))) (retract ?birthday) )
Delete the birthday facts, since it is only once a year. Another reasons is that every time any part of Andrew's personal data (e.g. weight) was changed,Design Architecture & rule would Knowledge Representation and rapid ageing! the birthday be fired again, causing 241-320
