%----Problem Axioms
%--- Case: Fragile and robust positions in drifting environments.
%--- Retracting A16!
%----
%----An organization's position is fragile if and only if it does not
%----provide advantage after age `sigma'.
%----
%----Added case: ( smaller_or_equal(age(X,T),sigma)
%---- => positional_advantage(X,T) )
fof(definition_3,axiom,
! [X] :
( fragile_position(X)
<=> ! [T] :
( ( smaller_or_equal(age(X,T),sigma)
=> positional_advantage(X,T) )
& ( greater(age(X,T),sigma)
=> ~ positional_advantage(X,T) ) ) ) ).
%----An organization's position is robust if and only if it provides
%----positional advantage only after age `tau'.
%----
%----Text says fragile_position(X) instead of robust_position(X).
%----Interchanged ~ positional_advantage(X,T) and positional_advantage(X,T).
fof(definition_4,axiom,
! [X] :
( robust_position(X)
<=> ! [T] :
( ( smaller_or_equal(age(X,T),tau)
=> ~ positional_advantage(X,T) )
& ( greater(age(X,T),tau)
=> positional_advantage(X,T) ) ) ) ).
%----Problem theorems
%----An organization's position cannot be both fragile and robust.
%----From D3-4 (also needs D<, D<=, D>=, MP>com).
%----
%----Requires several additions to the antecedent.
