“Towards the realization of flexible systems learned from biology”
-
Interacts with various disciplines from natural science to social science
-
Capitalism and economics (invisible hand of god) also exhibit self-organization
-
Basic requirements
- Distribution of the system
- Homogeneity of individuals
- Autonomy of individuals
- Dynamics
- Formation of order in the system
- Self-organization
- Environmental adaptability
-
Autonomy: Self-governance based on self-established norms (not acting arbitrarily)
- However, these norms include compliance with the whole
- “Freedom is insight into necessity” - Hegel
-
How to incorporate information about the entire system into individual components is crucial
- Compress information into basic rules
- These rules possess and interact with information about the entire system
- (blu3mo) Don’t forget about interaction, be aware of causality
-
The whole resulting from the cooperation of individuals can be seen as an individual itself
- It’s like a fractal structure
-
Interaction
- Two interpretations of “interaction field”
- View oneself and the collection of other individuals as the field
- or
- View the elements that constitute the system, excluding individuals, as the field
- In other words,
- It depends on whether to create a mechanism for individuals to know the information about the whole or to provide a separate information-sharing field
- It’s like whether to perceive it oneself or not
- It’s easier to understand with robots
- Former: Deciding based on the positions of the robots in one’s field of view
- Latter: Sharing positional information among all robots
- In the field of information processing, it is common to have a data field (latter)
- This is an important issue in autonomous decentralization
