Detailing

Applying our Objective-Function (which could well be no more than a judgment) helps us identify
particular sets of states that look highly desirable to us and which we may choose to take as Goals.
Goals (also known as objectives, targets, "a Vision", and so on) are a mental device for creating and communicating plans.”
