This could also work for prioritizing chores. Mostly which chores are the most important 
and need to be done first. Any situation where someone has to make a choice and weigh the 
difference between the choices can be used with our model of the world. Another example
where our cognitive model can be use is when an online retailer or business is fulfilling
orders. They receive a bunch of orders a day, and each time a new order come through they 
need to add it to their data base ( knowledge base ), and normally thye would sort it
base on first come first serve basis, but someone can pay for express shipping which 
would then move up their order to a earlier fulfillment time.
There are quite a few limitations. To start off, a big one is time. Time is important in 
the real world and is very limited, but we didn’t take it into account in our model world.
But our cognitive model is useful when it comes to choosing the order to do a list of 
tasks given the urgency of that task(due date). It is also useful whenever you need to 
choose between things. When you are choosing between things, your mind weighs the benefits 
and drawbacks of each item against the other to make up your final decision. It can also
be useful in business and running a shop or something and you have orders to fulfill.
Similar to our world, they would probably fulfill the order that was placed the earliest.
Of course there are cases where a customer can pay extra to have express shipping or 
such, then the shop owner could move up their order. When the shop owner moves up someone’s 
order because the customer selects a different choice, that’s a belief revision. 
Instead of prioritizing fulfilling the earliest order, you fulfil the order that 
requires express shipping. Another limitation is how we don’t have a choice of what 
to prioritize. With the limited time, we were only able to prioritize due dates 
instead of allowing users to prioritize by their choice of either due dates, subjects,
difficulty, etc. We also lack a system to measure how effective our choice of
prioritization is compared to other ordering. So we don’t really know if it is the 
best choice of ordering. It would be cool to add features where we can change our ordering
based on our choice of prioritization and also show how efficient it is compare to the other
possible ordering. Or another time is to show all the possible ordering and we can manually 
choose which order. Like we can possibly have a list of possible order which different 
prioritization method and label it as such and we can see the list of all possible 
prioritized ordering. All in all, our cognitive model is useful when it comes to 
determining the best ordering base on your chosen needs, and the way our belief revision 
work is useful too because it's simple to understand, when you have a new information you 
add it to your list, when you have an updated information you go back to your list and 
edit it and then your order will update.
