Abstract:
We propose here a meta-model based on the enactive and autopoietic theory for the description of social and language processes in Multiagent Systems (MAS). Our meta-model is a four-quadrant map, which describes, according to the concepts of structural couplings and organizational and functional closure, the architecture of the agents, as well as their social practices and the formation of social organizations. We propose a social cycle in which the architecture of agents evolves according to their practices, uses and social groups, the basis on which language evolves. Our meta-model was developed from two sources: a) the enactive and autopoietic theory of cognition, with an emphasis on social phenomena and the linguistic domain; b) in a four quadrant map, which describes MAS from an integral view. The motivation for the proposal of a new meta-model for the description of MAS and the emerging language in agent-based systems was the incompatibility between Wilber’s integral view and that of the enactive theory about psychosocial processes. The central features of the enactive criticism that we carried out here were the concepts of interiority and individuality present in Wilber’s theory.
