Theory of interaction, insertion modeling, and cognitive architectures

The paper presents a new cognitive architecture based on insertion modeling, one of the paradigms of a general theory of interaction, and a basis for multiagent system development. Insertion cognitive architecture is represented as a multilevel insertion machine which realizes itself as a high-level insertion environment. It has a center to evaluate the success of its behavior, which is a special type agent that can observe the interaction of a system with external environment. The main goal of a system is achieving maximum success repeated. Considered as an agent this machine is inserted into its external environment and has the means to interact with it. The internal environment of intelligent cognitive agent creates and develops its own model and the model of external environment. If the external environment contains other agents, they can be modeled by internal environment, which creates corresponding machines and interprets those machines using corresponding drivers, comparing the behaviors of models and external agents. Insertion architecture is now under development on the base of Insertion modeling system, developed in Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics. The nearest application will be the cognitive intellectual agent for software understanding.
