21.4 Communication Among Agents


How can an agent like "Get" know what to get, seeing as "get" must by definition be simple/stupid? Move is to make "Get" a middle level manager that signals other agents; trans-fram provides context for the control structure. Agents can operate without explicit messages via pronomilization of thought.
