7 Towards a Specification of a Framework for Modelling Economic Learning by Modelling
7.2 A specification of the agent
Thus at any time, t, an agent has:
- a set of models:
, from which it will have to select the model it will use for deciding its action and which it base future models on;
- memory of past data:
(possibly including past observations, past models and past actions);
- maybe some present information: P (the available current climate), this may specify relevant subspaces for actions and outcomes;
- maybe some explicit a priori information:
(known information, like accounting rules);
- some goal statements:
(describing the goal of its actions);
- and some specification of what the agent can control:
(what variables, or combination of variables the agent can control);
