World Modeler SEI Library Builder
Abstract
The SEI librarian provides an abstract data type called the sensor, which is used for perceiving the world. It also provides facilities for defining filtering functions over perceived things in the world. It runs in Commonlisp, and requires that LispSEI is loaded in first. Although anybody may write a library function, they should be defined through the filter-defining macros described in this document. There are two different kinds of libraries: sensor libraries and effector libraries. The sensor libraries allow the organism program to receive environmental data in various forms and with various degrees of filtering. They provide information only about the physical environment, and no information about the organism's internal state. The effector libraries allow the organism to make changes to the environment, while ensuring that the basic laws of conservation of energy and momentum are obeyed as much as is practical. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Learning models.
