The role of behavior modifiers in representation development

TL;DR

This paper explores how behavior modifiers influence the development of representations in software agents, demonstrating improved representation development through closure mechanisms and network analysis.

Contribution

It introduces a variable behavior modifier that enhances representation development in agents by integrating environment relationships via closure mechanisms.

Findings

Behavior modifiers improve representation development.

Closure mechanisms effectively capture environment-agent relationships.

External and internal analyses confirm the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract

We address the problem of the development of representations and their relationship to the environment. We study a software agent which develops in a network a representation of its simple environment which captures and integrates the relationships between agent and environment through a closure mechanism. The inclusion of a variable behavior modifier allows better representation development. This can be confirmed with an internal description of the closure mechanism, and with an external description of the properties of the representation network.
