Notes

• all communication between AI and world is tightly controlled
• two main components of the actor are information and reaction
  • information gathering takes place in a layered knowledge model where information flows from raw sensory data into more and more processed forms
    • perceptual data -> memory -> spatial analysis -> situational analysis -> persistent emotions
  • decision logic is fed by stimuli about the world which are generated as we process information
    • current situation + stimulus -> decision logic selects an action to perform, which generates specific motion instructions
• information gathering involves a lot of number crunching and can be distributed over time
• decision logic needs to be quick, procedurally driven and to happen frequently (we ran complete decision code every tick)
• next I'm going to expand on what the structure of the decision code is, what's inside that box
