Behavior simulation

(1/3) > >>

Zelos:
I have been thinking on how to simulate behavior. So id like to see what you consider to be a good way both in speed and effiency

I think a NN of maybe 5 synapses with little math wouold be good. Just seems like a good one

Jez:
Mi ne komprenas!

I thought we were simulating behaviour with an 'if this do that' attitude!

Is there a previous topic where this question or behaviour has been discussed before?

Zelos:
me guasta hamborgesas

im tlaking about general,. not DB
"Im almost a human biang DAMN IT"

Jez:
I've just finished reading 'Animals in translation' by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson, a book that covers animal behaviour. I thought it was a good book and when I get it back, having lent it out already, I intend to try to model some of the behaviours that it talks about.

Off the top of my head I'd say that learned behaviour was going to be the hardest. The biggest problem I am going to have with DB is that it is going to be very hard for one bot to watch how two other bots behave with each other IMO.
Overall though it should be possible just using the basic maths functions DB already provides.

Probably the slowest part will probably be identifying another bot as a new bot or a bot that has been observed before.

Anyway, if you will forgive me using DB as my working model, I think basic maths would be enough. I don't think it's the behaviour that will cause problems, more the interpreting of data and what data to use to make inferences from.

2B brutally honest I have no idea what advantage a synapse or neural network would be so maths is the only answer I really understand!

Testlund:
Do you really want to do that in DB? I think this whould be more suitable for a program simulating more complex animals. You need an animal with a very well developed brain for it to be able to learn by watching others, something that doesn't fit into a single cellular life form. I think only mammals have this ability on our planet. Personally I like the realistic approach that DB has been having but that's my opinion.
