Title
On the organisation of agent experience: scaling up social cognition
Abstract
This paper introduces “micro-scalability” as a novel design objective for social reasoning architectures operating in open multiagent systems. Micro-scalability is based on the idea that social reasoning algorithms should be devised in a way that allows for social complexity reduction, and that this can be achieved by operationalising principles of interactionist sociology. We first present a formal model of InFFrA agents called m2InFFrA that utilises two cornerstones of micro-scalability, the principles of social abstraction and transient social optimality. Then, we exemplify the usefulness of these concepts by presenting experimental results with a novel opponent classification heuristic AdHoc that has been developed using the InFFrA social reasoning architecture. These results prove that micro-scalability deserves further investigation as a useful aspect of socionic research.
