7.1 The General Framework

7.1.2 The Internal Language of Representation.


The agent has an internal language of representation, L, which is recursive list of expressions, . Usually L will typically be definable as nothing stronger than a context free grammar based on a finite list of atomic symbols. In this case they would correspond to tree structures.

Each expression specifying an internal agent model will include the dependent and independent variables, its conditions of application, the default prediction when conditions fall outside this, in addition to the relation between the variables. Typically much of this information is specified implicitly through the nature of L, the mechanisms to infer a prediction or action and common defaults.
