Field Details

goalTowardsGoalRule

public Function<BeliefBase,Function<String,Function<String,Integer>>> goalTowardsGoalRule

Representing a rule (actually, a combined set of rules) describing how the likelihood of a given goal affects the likelihood of another goal (consequence-goal). When applied, the rule returns the new estimated/believed likelihood of the consequence goal. Null is returned if the causing-goal is considered as irrelevant for the consequent-goal. The default is that this rule is just empty.

Method Details

eventEffect

public abstract void eventEffect(Event e,
 BeliefBase beliefbase)

This method should model the semantic of an Event in terms of an update to the given belief-base.

desirabilityAppraisalRule

public abstract int desirabilityAppraisalRule(BeliefBase.Goals_Status goals_status,
 String eventName,
 String goalName)

Appraise the desirability of an event towards a goal. Positive is desirable, negative is the opposite. 0 means the event is considered as not relevant towards the goal.

emotionIntensityDecayRule

public abstract int emotionIntensityDecayRule(Emotion.EmotionType etype)

This rule specifies for each emotion type, what the corresponding decay-factor. This should be an int >= 1. Emotion with decay-factor 2 will decay, roughly, twice as fast.

intensityThresholdRule

public abstract int intensityThresholdRule(Emotion.EmotionType etyp)
