### Axiom Rules

axiomRule(axiomRule(<number>)).
% defines that as a precondition to <axiom rule>, <variable> must have value <value>

Axiom rules are similar to [actions](#actions) in that they modify variables if certain preconditions are satisfied.
However, axiom rules must be applied *immediately* as soon as their preconditions are satisfied.
Axiom rule facts are only present with SAS input programs and not PDDL.
Axiom rules contain essential information in order to find plans correctly.
