Let us start this tutorial with a simple example based on the following well
known problem.

+\ 5h2 class="section"\ 6The goat, the wolf and the cabbage\ 5/h2\ 6A farmer need to transfer a goat, a wolf and a cabbage across a river, but there
is only one place available on his boat. Furthermore, the goat will eat the
cabbage if they are left alone on the same bank, and similarly the wolf will eat
the goat. The problem consists in bringing all three items safely across the
(* Instead of working with functions, it is sometimes convenient to work with
predicates. For instance, instead of defining a function computing the opposite
bank, we could declare a predicate stating when two banks are opposite to each
-other. Only two cases are possible, leading naturally two the following

of a relation (a binary predicate) over states. *)
