Abstract:
. We study the evolution of communication where concepts are developed individually by agents and relations between concepts and forms (words, signals) are learned through interaction with other agents. By constructing concepts based on experience with the same environment, agents develop similar conceptual systems. Concepts represent situations in the environment. The system of associations between forms and meanings is viewed as a dynamical system. This paper presents first results with investigating the phase space of the system. The analysis contributed to understanding the interaction between association strengths of different agents and of different meanings. Introduction In studying the evolution of communication, an important question is that of how stable systems connecting concepts and forms (words, signals) may come about. In this paper, we will be investigating the case where these connections are learned by a group of agents in a shared environment, as opposed to the case...
