A Model of Free Will for Artificial Entities

نویسنده

  • Eric Sanchis
چکیده

The impression of free will is the feeling according to which our choices are neither imposed from our inside nor from outside. It is the sense we are the ultimate cause of our acts. In direct opposition with the universal determinism, the existence of free will continues to be discussed. In this paper, free will is linked to a decisional mechanism: an agent is provided with free will if having performed a predictable choice C, it can immediately perform another choice C’ in a random way. The intangible “feeling” of free will is replaced by a decision-making process including a predictable decision-making process immediately followed by an unpredictable decisional one.

Calculating Income Tax Evasion of Legal Entities and Examining its Sustainability through Threshold Non-linear Method

The purpose of this study is to calculate tax evasion based on the income of legal entities and to examine its stability, which has been done by estimating the Tanzi monetary demand function during 1370-1397. The demand function included the ratio of currency holdings to supply of money  as a dependent variable and the tax variables of legal entities, the ratio of wages and salaries to national...

Estimation of coal swelling index based on chemical properties of coal using artificial neural networks

Free swelling index (FSI) is an important parameter for cokeability and combustion of coals. In this research, the effects of chemical properties of coals on the coal free swelling index were studied by artificial neural network methods. The artificial neural networks (ANNs) method was used for 200 datasets to estimate the free swelling index value. In this investigation, ten input parameters ...

An Analysis to Wealth Distribution Based on Sugarscape Model in an Artificial Society

 In this paper an artificial society is being assumed as a multi agents system. A sugarscape model consisting of a cellular landscape of resources is used to form an interaction among the agents of the population. In the model, agents find the resources to survive. They are supposed to move and search and because of this movement, an evolutionary social behavior will develope. From model analys...

Overlapping Community Detection in Social Networks Based on Stochastic Simulation

Community detection is a task of fundamental importance in social network analysis. Community structures enable us to discover the hidden interactions among the network entities and summarize the network information that can be applied in many applied domains such as bioinformatics, finance, e-commerce and forensic science. There exist a variety of methods for community detection based on diffe...

Comparing Prediction Power of Artificial Neural Networks Compound Models in Predicting Credit Default Swap Prices through Black–Scholes–Merton Model

Default risk is one of the most important types of risks, and credit default swap (CDS) is one of the most effective financial instruments to cover such risks. The lack of these instruments may reduce investment attraction, particularly for international investors, and impose potential losses on the economy of the countries lacking such financial instruments, among them, Iran. After the 2007 fi...
