In situation theory, situation semantics (pioneered by Jon Barwise and John Perry in the early 1980s) [1] attempts to provide a solid theoretical foundation for reasoning about common-sense and real world situations, typically in the context of theoretical linguistics, theoretical philosophy, or applied natural language processing,
