Definition: The expression (s GOAL g)
specifies that the object g
is the general aim or goal of s
, where s
is typically a situation. The relation GOAL
is superordinate to the relations DIRCL, PURP, and – to a certain extent – to the relation RSLT. The relation GOAL
is extended to sort o
with regard to the first argument, since also objects (e.g. persons) can have goals.
