We describe several new qualitative representations and reasoning
techniques.  These techniques allow us to represent both state
variables and the interactions between them with varying degrees of
precision.  This is desirable when we have only partial knowledge
about these entities or when we wish to express approximations to the
knowledge we do have.  New reasoning strategies have been develped to
allow the propagation of the different types of values through the
		   differnt types of interactions.
