Working backward from the goal
Working backward from the goal is an application of the backward chaining strategy in artificial intelligence. When problem solving, working backward is one way to reach the goal of solving a problem. George Pólya's book How to Solve It lists working backward in the section on problem solving strategies.
Working backward from the goal - Working backward by a bonobo
Kanzi, a bonobo (pygmy chimpanzee, Pan paniscus) dramatically illustrated his use of this strategy when he was being taught how to create stone tools by a human expert. Unable to replicate the manipulations of the human expert, Kanzi eventually resorted to smashing stones upon others, and simply selected shards with sharp edges, in order to produce his stone tools1.

Working backward from the goal - Some uses in mathematics proofs
Some mathematical proofs can be reliably constructed by working backward. At times, a transformation is required, in order to fix up a solution so that it matches the desired goal.
Working backward from the goal - Some uses in AI
AI programs for medical diagnosis or fault-finding in electrical equipment can use backward-chaining.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
