Abstract

Tools are viewed in this extend abstract as artefactual agents: agents whose goals, or function, have been attributed. We put forward an interpretation of tool usage as a social interaction between the tool and its user. Precisely, this social interaction is one of where the tool assists the user to bring about something. We lay out the first principles for a logical approach to reason about the creation and the use of tools. We also discuss some meta-logical properties of the framework.
