1. Elements are representations such as concepts, propositions, parts of images, goals, actions and so on.
2. Elements can cohere (fit together) or incohere (resist fitting together). Coherence relations include explanation, deduction, facilitation, association and so on. Incoherence relations include inconsistence, incompatibility, and negative association.
3. If two elements cohere, there is a positive constraint between them. If two elements incohere, there is a negative constraint between them.
4. Elements are to be divided into ones that are accepted and ones that are rejected.
5. a positive constraint between two elements can be satisfied either by accepting both of the elements or by rejecting both of the elements.
6. a negative constraint between two elements can be satisfied only by accepting one element and rejecting the other.
7. the coherence problem consists of dividing a set of elements into accepted and rejected sets in a way that satisfies the most constraints.
