Abstract:
This article describes a series of experiments to study the emergence of inherently meaningful communication by synthetic evolution in a population of artificial agents. By "inherently meaningful" we mean that the communication is meaningful and relevant to the agents themselves, independent and regardless of any meanings we (as observers) may attribute to the communications. (We discuss elsewhere [7, 13] the relevance to the study of intrinsic intensionality of these experimental techniques, which we call synthetic ethology.) Briefly, we may say that communication is inherently meaningful if it has some actual or potential relevance to the agents.
