- Abstract: Analogical proportions are expressions of the form ``$a$ is to $b$ what $c$
is to $d$'' at the core of analogical reasoning. This paper contributes to the
mathematical foundations of analogical proportions in the axiomatic tradition
as initiated by Yves Lepage two decades ago. For this we introduce proportoids
as sets endowed with a 4-ary analogical proportion relation $a:b::c:d$
satisfying a suitable set of axioms and study different kinds of
proportion-preserving mappings and relations and their properties.

In human-aware planning, a planning agent may need to provide an explanation to a human user on why its plan is optimal.

We present a logic-based framework for model reconciliation that extends beyond the realm of planning.
