A Category Theoretic Approach to Agent Interaction: Information, Communication, Planning, and Learning
Abstract
The PI is pursuing a category theoretic model for the study of interaction. In particular He will consider the following sort of system: a network of interacting entities (or agents), such that each entity is an instantiation of a given type of structure and each interaction follows some mathematically prescribed rules. This research applies to a wide variety of systems found in the natural world and in technology. Indeed, the nervous system, human society, hierarchical protein materials, computers and networks, and complex organizations such as businesses and militaries are all systems that can be modeled in this way. It also has direct application to problems of information integration and distributed intelligence.
