Context allows a wearable application to decide among sets of
assumptions or axioms pertaining to making decisions. (This is the
frame problem of AI fame.) For example, a communications
application should know whether the wearer is busy or not before
deciding to interrupt. Assuming that relevant aspects of the wearer's
context can be determined, surprisingly simple rules (such as "don't
interrupt me when I'm busy") can produce behavior that appears quite
intelligent. The "intelligence" is in the perception of context, not
the reasoning.
