Highlights the ability of agents to balance these modes in decision-making. | Quick, pattern-based individual decisions • Relies on intuition • Uses available means | Systematic individual analysis • Uses memory • Fixed goal pursuit | Part of population • Local experimenter • Adaptation unit | | 🌏 | **World (Agent + Environment)**: Represents the broader context that includes both agents and the environment. It emphasizes the dynamic interaction between agents and their surroundings, capturing both discrete actions by agents and the continuous influences of the environment. | Immediate feedback source • Local environment • Direct interactions | Problem space to analyze • Variables to control • System to model | Selection landscape • Fitness determiner • Emergence source | | 🧭 | **How (Process/Skill/Discovery/Inference/Yang)**: Represents the directional actions and processes related to exploration, skill-building, discovery, and causal reasoning. It captures the "how" aspect of producing outcomes through structured exploration. | Fast pattern matching • Quick pivots • Immediate actions | Structured exploration • Systematic testing • Method following | Multiple parallel trials • Population learning • System adaptation | | 🗺️ | **Why (Conceptual Structure/Vision/Meaning/Representation/Ying)**: Represents the reasons behind actions, the articulation of meaning, and the construction of representations. It captures the "why" aspect of decisions, focusing on vision, meaning, and the representational structures that guide thinking. | Immediate needs • Local meaning • Quick understanding | Clear goals • Prior knowledge • Explicit models | Emergent purposes • Novel meanings • System patterns | | 🧠 | **Scientist (Understanding/Prediction/Control)**: Represents analytical, evidence-based thinking. Focuses on understanding how the world works, predicting outcomes, and controlling variables systematically. Accuracy and verification are central. | Quick pattern recognition • Intuitive understanding • Fast learning | Analytical thinking • Evidence-based • Systematic control | Population-level insights • System understanding • Emergence recognition | | 🤜 | **Artist (Imagination/Creation/Hope)**: Represents creative processes and the imagination of alternative states. It brings expansion, novel insights, and the hope needed to inspire new directions, often without immediate feasibility constraints. | Intuitive creation • Quick improvisation • Immediate solutions | Structured innovation • Goal-directed creation • Planned exploration | Novel combinations • Multiple variations • Emergent creation | | 👓 | **Judge (Evaluation/Appropriateness/Value)**: Represents evaluative processes, assessing the desirability or appropriateness of actions based on norms, values, and ethics. Ensures alignment with moral frameworks and societal standards, judging both actions and their outcomes. | Quick assessment • Good-enough choices • Fast feedback use | Evidence evaluation • Clear criteria • Systematic assessment | Survival testing • Population selection • Fitness evaluation |
