A note on achieving low-level rationality from pure reactivity
Jozef Kelemen · Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence · 1996
The paper connects a decision-theoretic model of rationality and a generative (grammar-theoretic) model of multiagent systems called colonies. The decision-theoretic notion of the low-level rationality of agents is introduced. Then, a characterization of a subclass of low-level rational agents is given in the formal framework of colonies. In other words, it is proved that at least the low-level rationality of some agents can emerge from activities of their autonomous purely reactive and individually non-rational components.
