Building on Valentino Braitenberg's famous 'vehicles, ' Richards describes a collection of mental organisms that he calls 'daemons'--virtual correlates of neural modules. Daemons have favored choices and make decisions that control behaviors of the group to which they belong, with each daemon preferring a different outcome. Richards arranges these preferences in graphs, linking similar choices, which thus reinforce each other. 'Anigrafs' refers to these two components--animals, or the mental organisms (agents or daemons), and the graphs that show similarity relations. Together these two components are the basis of a new cognitive architecture. In Richards's account, a collection of daemons compete for control of the cognitive system in which they reside; the challenge is to get the daemons to agree on one of many choices. Richards explores the results of group decisions, emphasizing the Condorcet voting procedure for aggregating preferences. A neural mechanism is proposed. Anigrafs presents a series of group decisions that incorporate simple and complex movements, as well as aspects of cognition and belief. Anigrafs concludes with a section on 'metagrafs, ' which chart relationships between different anigraf models"--MIT CogNet.CognitionGroup decision makingArtificial intelligenceCOMPUTER SCIENCE/Artificial IntelligenceCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/GeneralCognition.Group decision making.Artificial intelligence.153Richards Whitman1569552OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910797292603321Anigrafs3842522UNINA
