Self-Symbol in NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) Patrick Hammer Graz University of Technology, Austria
Knowledge Representation Term names a concept, e.g., bird Compound Term is composed from other terms, e.g., ([yellow] ∩ bird) Inheritance (→) is a relation representing the substitutability of one term by another one, e.g., {Tweety} → ([yellow] ∩ bird) $x → raven$x → [black]
Meaning of Statements • The meaning of a statement can only be judged according to (parts of) the past experience of the system.
Meaning of Terms/Concepts • The meaning of a term is determined by the context the term appears in. On conceptual level: • The meaning of a concept is determined by the concepts it is related to.
Self Symbol/Term This suggests: • „self“ as a term which gets meaning by the contexts it appears in as special case.
Self Symbol/Term • Parts of the meaning of “self” can be constructed by the observation of own properties and actions.
Association of “self” with Properties SELF → [hungry]
Association of “self” with Actions ^eat(apple) ^eat(SELF, apple) (*, SELF,apple) --> ^eat SELF --> (/,^eat,_,apple)
Derived beliefs about “self” Event1: ^eat(apple) Event2: SELF → [satisfied] Temporal Induction: ^eat(apple) /SELF → [satisfied]
Introspective Events and Operators Introspective Events: • Reveiling internal events to the system Introspective Operators: • Influencing internal states
Introspective Events and Operators • Allowing the system to reason for example about its own pursued goals (comparison: intention/goal self models) or to reflect the desire value of a concept. • Also allowing the system to reason about introspective events (business, satisfaction value, comparison: emotional self model)
