The talk introduces a framework of quotient space theory of problem solving. In the theory, a problem (or problem space) is represented as a triplet, including the universe, its structure and attributes. The worlds with different grain size are represented by a set of quotient spaces. The basic characteristics of different grain-size worlds are presented. Based on the model, the computational complexity of hierarchical problem solving is discussed.
