....that, when used by individual agents, leads from an initially random situation to a state where agents refer to the situations in their environment with the same words. The stochastic algorithm is a slightly adapted version of that introduced in (De Jong, 1999) and is described in my Ph.D. thesis (De Jong, 2000). Here, the behavior of the stochastic system is analyzed by relating it to a deterministic version. 1.1 Internal Structure of the Agents Each agent has a set of meanings. These meanings represent situations in the environment that are important to distinguish, and the current meaning can be ....

....The largest neighborhood for which this is true is called the basin of attraction of A. 3. A is minimal: there is no proper subset of A that satisfies conditions 1 and 2. A mathematical proof of the existence of attractors corresponding to perfect communication can be found in my Ph.D. thesis (De Jong, 2000). In the following, an experimental investigation will be presented. 3.2 Location of Hypothesized Attractors The objective of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that the communication system has attractors that correspond to perfect communication. The above definition provides a way to ....
