DEVICE FOR SIMULATING A MEDIUM EVOLUTION BY ASYNCHRONOUS AND CHAOTIC PROCESSING IN THE PRESENCE OF AUTONOMOUS INTERACTING ENTITIES AND A MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM

摘要

A computer supporting an active object program in a multi-purpose mode comprises a device (D) for simulating the time evolution of a medium. Said device (D) comprises a software dedicated for simulating by objects the joint evolution of certain activated objects comprising enaction objects defining autonomous spatiotemporal entities each of which represents a physical phenomenon and, when activated, interacts in a multi-agent medium via state objects defining interaction mediators providing a topological spatiotemporal support which forms a virtual environment representing a simulated medium and makes it possible to detect the interactions between the entities in space and in time and (ii) a simulation manager capable to operate by sequences on a selection of the enaction objects and to activate each enaction object only once for each sequence according to an order varying at least partially in a random manner from one sequence to the other, thereby enabling the spatiotemporal interactions dynamically evolve sequence by sequence between the enaction objects.
