An incremental belief-state search initially plans for a small subset of the possible initial states, then tests the candidate plan on the full initial belief state . If a state in makes an action inapplicable or fails the final goal test, add that counterexample to and solve the enlarged problem. The new search may need to revise the entire plan, rather than append actions to the previous candidate.
With finitely many initial states and a complete finite-model solver for each restricted problem, at most state additions are required. Failure to find a plan even for a restricted subset proves that none can work for the whole belief state. A candidate that passes full validation is a genuine plan for sensorless planning. The advantage is selective tracking: a small number of representative initial states may force a universally successful plan without constructing the full power set search space.
