Studying sign processes in the emergence of communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communication depends on the production and interpretation of representations, but the study of representational processes underlying communication finds little discussion in computational experiments. Here we present an experiment on the emergence of both interpretation and production of multiple representations, with multiple referents, where referential processes can be tracked. Results show the dynamics of semiotic processes during the evolution of artificial creatures and the emergence of a variety of semiotic processes, such as sign production, sign interpretation, and sign-object-interpretant relations.

Synthetic Semiotics: on modelling and simulating the emergence of sign processes
Based on formal-theoretical principles about the sign processes involved, we have built synthetic experiments to investigate the emergence of communication based on symbols and indexes in a distributed system of sign users, following theoretical constraints from C.S.Peirce theory of signs, following a Synthetic Semiotics approach. In this paper, we summarize these computational experiments and ...
متن کاملEmergence of self-organized symbol-based communication in artificial creatures
In this paper, we describe a digital scenario where we simulated the emergence of self-organized symbol-based communication among artificial creatures inhabiting a virtual world of unpredictable predatory events. In our experiment, creatures are autonomous agents that learn symbolic relations in an unsupervised manner, with no explicit feedback, and are able to engage in dynamical and autonomou...
متن کاملCognitive conditions to the emergence of sign interpretation in artificial creatures
Although the emergence of communication has been the topic of various Artificial Life experiments, the study of underlying representational processes finds little discussion. We have previously differentiated between symbolic and indexical interpretation and proposed that symbolic interpretation may act as a shortcut to cognitive traits already acquired. Here we evaluate conditions of this acqu...
متن کاملLevels of Identity in the Age of Globalization and its Role on Policy-making
This article explores the intricate interrelationships between discourses on identity and themultiple processes associated with increasing globalization in the modern age. Globalization is notonly often exclusively associated with worldwide economic integration and the emergence of aborderless global market but also involves sweeping changes on the social, cultural and politicaldomains. Further...
متن کاملGAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING
In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...
