Most knowledge based systems in artificial intelligence (AI), with a commitment to a symbolic representation, support one basic operation: "matching of descriptions". This operation, called unification in work on deduction, is the "addition-and-multiplication" of AI-systems and is consequently often supported by special purpose hardware or by a fast instruction set on most AI-machines. Unification theory provides the formal framework for investigations into the properties of this operation.
