World Model

To effectively process incoming events, generate novel knowledge, and reason about the environment, an agent requires a robust internal representation of the world. This section describes data structures used to describe the internal representation of the world and motivation for those structures.

Abstract Representation

World model represent well-bounded representations of a physical world, which is often hard to bound. For example a real-world collection of particles people would call “a puddle” does not have clear boundaries - water is constantly evaporating and condensing, it goes through the ground and mixes with it. But in people’s head it’s a single entity that they can reason about. The same approach was used in this framework - entities resemble a class instance from Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
