如何将事实配对以创建新事实？

Question

我是 CLIPS 的新手，我正在尝试使用它在 Xcode 中创建自定义 Instrument 来模拟枚举中的状态变化。

我想以一系列事实结束，这些事实表示枚举的开始和结束时间处于给定状态。

每当我的代码中发生状态更改时，我都会发出一个事件路标，这可以简化为：

(deftemplate signpost
    (slot time (type INTEGER))
    (slot state (type STRING))
)

我正在尝试将它们配对以生成如下所示的状态间隔事实：

(deftemplate state-interval
    (slot start (type INTEGER))
    (slot duration (type INTEGER))
    (slot state (type STRING))
)

给定输入数据：

(signpost (time 0) (state "one"))
(signpost (time 2) (state "two"))
(signpost (time 5) (state "three"))
(signpost (time 10) (state "four"))

我希望看到以下输出：

(state-interval (start 0) (duration 2) (state "one"))
(state-interval (start 2) (duration 3) (state "two"))
(state-interval (start 5) (duration 5) (state "three"))

到目前为止，我最接近的尝试如下：

(deftemplate signpost
    (slot time (type INTEGER))
    (slot state (type STRING))
)

(deftemplate state-update
    (slot time (type INTEGER))
    (slot state (type STRING))
)

(deftemplate state-interval
    (slot start (type INTEGER))
    (slot duration (type INTEGER))
    (slot state (type STRING))
)

(defrule update-state
    ?signpost <- (signpost (time ?time) (state ?state))
    (not (state-update (time ?) (state ?)))
    =>
    (retract ?signpost)
    (assert (state-update (time ?time) (state ?state)))
)

(defrule pair-state
    ?signpost <- (signpost (time ?time) (state ?state))
    ?update <- (state-update (time ?time1) (state ?state1))
    =>
    (modify ?update (time ?time) (state ?state))
    (retract ?signpost)
    (bind ?duration (- ?time1 ?time))
    (assert (state-interval (start ?time1) (duration ?duration) (state ?state1)))
)

(deffacts sample-data
    (signpost (time 0) (state "one"))
    (signpost (time 2) (state "two"))
    (signpost (time 5) (state "three"))
    (signpost (time 10) (state "four"))
)

我得到以下输出：

FIRE    1 update-state: f-4,*
<== f-4     (signpost (time 10) (state "four"))

==> Activation 0      pair-state: f-3,f-10
<== Activation 0      update-state: f-3,*
<== f-3     (signpost (time 5) (state "three"))
<== Activation 0      pair-state: f-3,f-10
==> f-11    (state-interval (start 2) (duration -3) (state "two"))
<== Focus MAIN
4 rules fired        Run time is 0.00531400000909343 seconds.
752.728640036717 rules per second.
5 mean number of facts (5 maximum).
1 mean number of instances (1 maximum).
2 mean number of activations (4 maximum).

导致：

CLIPS> (facts)
f-0     (initial-fact)
f-7     (state-interval (start 10) (duration 10) (state "four"))
f-9     (state-interval (start 0) (duration -2) (state "one"))
f-10    (state-update (time 5) (state "three"))
f-11    (state-interval (start 2) (duration -3) (state "two"))
For a total of 5 facts.

我觉得我在这里遗漏了一些基本的东西。在我看来，我假设 Xcode 会随着时间的推移依次为我提供这些路标事实。
