SENSATION ACTION Constraint to satisfy ENVIRONMENT * Agents have constraints to satisfy Stay alive Avoid predators/obstacles Live group life Store enough energy Look for happiness - ..... * Constraint satisfaction thru action implementation * Action determination from meaning generation * Grounding of meaning in sensorimotor process First EUCogII Members Conference. Hamburg, 10-11.10.2009 Sensorimotor process with constraint satisfaction. Grounding of meaning. (1/3) Christophe Menant.

Bordeaux France. http://crmenant.free.fr/Home-Page/index.HTM * Constraint satisfaction thru action implementation. Meaning Generation. Meaning generation process as constraint satisfaction driven. Artificial/organic constraints characterize artificial/organic agents and meanings. MGS as building block for higher level system/agent. Evolutionary usage. Meaning is generated by the agent and for the agent in its environments. Other functions in agent: memory, scenario simulation, action determination, other MGSs, ... ENVIRONMENT Reception Incident information Identification of the connection between the constraint and the received information Meaningful information AGENT SUBMITTED TO A CONSTRAINT Constraint of the agent Determination of the action satisfying the constraint of the agent.
