Extending the main page another important idea has to be noticed: quantum logic, originally created in the realm of modern physics, has brought forward a formalism  dealing with superposition states (states of substantial uncertainty for the observer). This formalism has meanwhile entered other disciplines, especially disciplines dealing with cognition and decision processes (see as an excellent example the book: Jerome R. Busemeyer and Peter D. Bruza, Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (UK), 2012).

As it turns out there is a bad and a good message for the AAI paradigm: the ‘bad’ message is, that the AAI formalism so far is written in a non-quantum logic style. Thus it seems as if the AAI paradigm is stuck with the classical pre-quantum view of the world. The ‘good’ message is, that this ‘pre-quantum’ style is only at the ‘surface’ of the AAI paradigm. If one considers the ‘actor models’ – which are a substantial component of the AAI paradigm – as ‘truly quantum-like systems‘ (what they are in the ‘normal case’), then one can think of the ‘actors’ as systems having three components at least: (i) a biological basis (or some equivalent matter) consisting of highly entangled quantum systems, which are organized as ‘biological bodies‘ with a brain; (ii) a ‘consciousness‘ interacting with (iii) an ‘unconsciousness‘. The consciousness is heavily depending from the behavior of the unconsciousness in a way which resembles a superposition state! By ‘learning‘ the system can store some ‘procedures’ for later activation in the unconsciousness, but the stored procedures (a) can not override the superposition state completely and (b) the stored procedures are not immune against changes in time. Thus from the point of ‘decisions’ and of ‘thinking’ an actor is always an inherently in-deterministic system which can better be described with a quantum-logic similar formalism than with a non-quantum-logic formalism.

In general one should abandon the term ‘quantum’ from the formalism because the domain of reference are not some physical ‘quanta’ below the atoms but complete learning systems with a stochastic unconsciousness as basis for learning.

To implement these quantum logic perspective into the AAI paradigm does not change the paradigm as a whole but primarily the descriptions of the participating actors.

As a consequence of this change the simulation process has to be seen in a new way:  because every participating actor is a truly indeterministic  system, the whole state at some time point t is a superposition state. Therefore  every concrete simulation is a ‘selection’ of ‘one path out of many possible ones’. Thus a concrete  simulation  can only show one fragment of an unknown bigger space of possible other runs. And their is another point: because all actors are ‘learning’ actors in the unrestricted sense (known artificial intelligence systems today are strongly restricted learners!) the actors in the process are ‘changing’. Thus an actor at time point t+x is not the same as the actor with the same ‘name’ at an earlier time point t! To draw conclusions about possible ‘repetitions in the future’ is therefore dangerous. The future in a quantum-like world will never repeat the past.

Draft version 22.June 2018

Update 26.June 2018 (Chapter AS-AM Summary)

Update 4.July 2018 (Chapter 4 Actor Model; improving the terminology of environments with actors, actors as input-output systems, basic and real interface, a first typology of input-output systems…)

Update 17.July 2018 (Preface, Introduction new)

Update 19.July 2018 (Introduction final paragraph!, new chapters!)

Update 20.July 2018 (Disentanglement of chapter ‘Simulation & Verification’ into two independent chapters; corrections in the chapter ‘Introduction’; corrections in chapter ‘AAI Analysis’; extracting ‘Simulation’ from chapter ‘Actor Story’ to new chapter ‘Simulation’; New chapter ‘Simulation’; Rewriting of chapter ‘Looking Forward’)

Update 22.July 2018 (Rewriting the beginning of the chapter ‘Actor Story (AS)’, not completed; converting chapter ‘AS+AM Summary’ to ‘AS and AM Philosophy’, not completed)

Update 23.July 2018 (Attaching a new chapter with a Case Study illustrating an actor story (AS). This case study is still unfinished. It is a case study of  a real project!)

Update 7.August 2018 (Modifying chapter Actor Story, the introduction)

Update 8.August 2018 (Modifying chapter  AS as Text, Comic, Graph; especially section about the textual mode and the pictorial mode; first sketch for a mapping from the textual mode into the pictorial mode)

Update 9.August 2018 (Modification of the section ‘Mathematical Actor Story (MAS) in chapter 4).

Update 11.August 2018 (Improving chapter 3 ‘Actor Story; nearly complete rewriting of chapter 4 ‘AS as text, comic, graph’.)

Update 12.August 2018 (Minor corrections in the chapters 3+4)

Update 13.August 2018 (I am still catched by the chapters 3+4. In chapter  the cognitive structure of the actors has been further enhanced; in chapter 4 a complete example of a mathematical actor story could now been attached.)

Update 14.August 2018 (minor corrections to chapter 4 + 5; change-statements define for each state individual combinatorial spaces (a little bit like a quantum state); whether and how these spaces will be concretized/ realized depends completely from the participating actors)

Update 15.August 2018 (Canceled the appendix with the case study stub and replaced it with an overview for  a supporting software tool which is needed for the real usage of this theory. At the moment it is open who will write the software.)

Update 2.October 2018 (Configuring the whole book now with 3 parts: I. Theory, II. Application, III. Software. Gerd has his focus on part I, Zeynep will focus on part II and ‘somebody’ will focus on part III (in the worst case we will — nevertheless — have a minimal version :-)). For a first quick overview about everything read the ‘Preface’ and the ‘Introduction’.

Update 4.November 2018 (Rewriting the Introduction (and some minor corrections in the Preface). The idea of the rewriting was to address all the topics which will be discussed in the book and pointing out to the logical connections between them. This induces some wrong links in the following chapters, which are not yet updated. Some chapters are yet completely missing. But to improve the clearness of the focus and the logical inter-dependencies helps to elaborate the missing texts a lot. Another change is the wording of the title. Until now it is difficult to find a title which is exactly matching the content. The new proposal shows the focus ‘AAI’ but lists the keywords of the main topics within AAA analysis because these topics are usually not necessarily associated with AAI.)
