Abstract
- Artificial intelligence focuses on the question of how to design systems to exhibit intelligent behaviour in complex environments. Complex global behaviours can emerge from simple systems acting in a complex environment; however, this emergence requires that the systems' internal structure reflects essential structures in the environment This paper examines the algebraic structure of a system's actions. We find that these actions often possess a self-similar local neighbourhood structure that permits analysis and synthesis to be performed locally and yet produces global intelligent behaviours. A procedure for finding this local structure is presented and illustrated with examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
