....forms, from physical (structural boundaries) causal (some form of encapsulation) or functional (closure of input output mapping) The list of properties above is actually quite familiar to us. First, these ideas are present either implicitly or explicitly at the foundations of systems theory [2, 4, 21]. Indeed, based on the above criteria there is very little to distinguish an agent from some general sense of system . Secondly, it parallels in some ways Holland s categorizations [13] as discussed in [Rocha pp. 34 ] Boundaries and closures are all fundamental to the ability to aggregate ....
....quantities, many of which are given from the construction of the agent. 3.4.3 Internal Models So far, wehaveintroduced semiotic agents as deliberativecontrol systems involving internal representations of their environment, but not yet explicitly involving internal models. We have argued [19, 20, 21] that models and control are distinct, but canonical, examples of semiotic systems# and further that model based or anticipatory control, where explicit predictions of the consequences of future actions are used to make decisions, are a necessarily more complex form of control than might be ....
