Abstract In this paper, we describe a model for reasoning using forward chaining for predicate logic rules and facts with coarse-coded distributed representations for instantiated predicates in a connectionist frame work. Distributed representations are known to give advantages of good generalization, error correction and graceful degradation of performance under noise conditions. The system supports usage of complex rules which involve multiple conjunctions and disjunctions, The system solves the variable binding problem in a new way using coarse-coded distributed representations of instantiated predicates without the need to decode them into localist representations. Its performance with regard to generalization on unseen inputs and its ability to exhibit fault tolerance under noise conditions is studied and has been found to give good results.
