The Maximum Rationality Hypothesis was proposed by Allen Newell in 1982 as the principle of rationality: "If an agent has knowledge that one of its actions will lead to one of its goals, then the agent will select that action". This formulation results in the law of behavior at the knowledge level. Thus, there is a direct connection between goals, knowledge and subsequent actions.
