The Role of Expressiveness in Modelling Structural Change - Bruce Edmonds

Abstract


It is argued that to effectively model situations involving structural change, purely numerical methods may not be sufficiently expressive. Some alternative, some more expressive formal systems are suggested, which are borrowed from artificial intelligence, logic, formal language theory and abstract mathematics. These allow the modelling of knowledge: internally to represents an agent's picture of the world, externally to model its communication with other agents and also to model context-dependent aspects of their environment. Three examples in each of these areas is presented.
