Abstract
In propositional normal default logic, given a default theory (Δ,D) and a well-defined ordering of D, there is a method to construct an extension of (Δ,D) without any injury. To construct a strong extension of (Δ,D) given a well-defined ordering of D, there may be finite injuries for a default δ ∈ D. With approximation deduction ⊢s in propositional logic, we will show that to construct an extension of (Δ,D) under a given welldefined ordering of D, there may be infinite injuries for some default δ ∈ D.
