- Apply the current operator to the current state.  - Calculate the difference between the current state and the goal state.  - Prefer the state the minimizes the distance between the new state and goal state.  *Note*: as a general method, means-end can be applied to a varied range of problems. Due to it generality, it can however, get caught in local minima and cannot converge to the global solution.  ### Problem Reduction  Take the goal of a problem and break it apart into more simple goals. Apply means-end after.
