Abstract:

Abstract. The paper aims at demonstrating that basic behaviors can be acquired by an autonomous agent without the help by externally defined fitness functions or learning goals. For this purpose we introduce a new principle-- homeokinesis-- which is completely unspecific and yet induces specific, seemingly goal--oriented behaviors of an agent in a complex external world. The principle is based on the assumption that the agent is able of (i) learning an internal representation (self-model) of its current behavior and (ii) to adapt its behavior in such a way that the complexity gap between model and true behavior is minimized. Driven by the basic impetus of always moving and acting the agent in a noisy complex world develops smooth controlled behaviors as the minimal compromise between the high dynamical complexity of the world and the low complexity of the model. In these terms behavior may be called a byproduct (epiphenomenon) of the internal "desire " of the agent to be able of interpreting the world in simple terms. 1
