This paper introduces a unique approach to the temporal evolution of a causal network, based on LIBRA/Dx: a recently proposed parallel activation model for diagnostic reasoning. The model provides a mechanism by means of which domain knowledge can be arranged in such a fashion that relevant pieces configure themselves dynamically in each situation to form tailor-made explanations. The model is based on the hypothesis that simultaneous satisfaction of multiple local constraints among domain concepts is sufficient to construct a global explanation for a set of observed signs and symptoms.
