To complete any task, the brain needs to plan out the sequence by which to execute the behavior. One way the brain does this is with a partial-order plan.

Planning in AI is the process of coming up with a series of actions or procedures to accomplish a particular goal. It entails assessing the existing situation, identifying the intended outcome, and developing a strategy that specifies the steps to take to get there.
