Dynamics of Internal Models in Game Players

A new approach for the study of social games and communications is proposed. Games are simulated between cognitive players who build the opponent's internal model and decide their next strategy from predictions based on the model. In this paper, internal models are constructed by the recurrent neural network (RNN), and the iterated prisoner's dilemma game is performed. The RNN allows us to express the internal model in a geometrical shape. The complicated transients of actions are observed before the stable mutually defecting equilibrium is reached. During the transients, the model shape also becomes complicated and often experiences chaotic changes. These new chaotic dynamics of internal models reflect the dynamical and high-dimensional rugged landscape of the internal model space.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figure

Universal neural field computation

Turing machines and G\"odel numbers are important pillars of the theory of computation. Thus, any computational architecture needs to show how it could relate to Turing machines and how stable implementations of Turing computation are possible. In this chapter, we implement universal Turing computation in a neural field environment. To this end, we employ the canonical symbologram representation of a Turing machine obtained from a G\"odel encoding of its symbolic repertoire and generalized shifts. The resulting nonlinear dynamical automaton (NDA) is a piecewise affine-linear map acting on the unit square that is partitioned into rectangular domains. Instead of looking at point dynamics in phase space, we then consider functional dynamics of probability distributions functions (p.d.f.s) over phase space. This is generally described by a Frobenius-Perron integral transformation that can be regarded as a neural field equation over the unit square as feature space of a dynamic field theory (DFT). Solving the Frobenius-Perron equation yields that uniform p.d.f.s with rectangular support are mapped onto uniform p.d.f.s with rectangular support, again. We call the resulting representation \emph{dynamic field automaton}.Comment: 21 pages; 6 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1204.546

Diversity, Stability, Recursivity, and Rule Generation in Biological System: Intra-inter Dynamics Approach

Basic problems for the construction of a scenario for the Life are discussed. To study the problems in terms of dynamical systems theory, a scheme of intra-inter dynamics is presented. It consists of internal dynamics of a unit, interaction among the units, and the dynamics to change the dynamics itself, for example by replication (and death) of units according to their internal states. Applying the dynamics to cell differentiation, isologous diversification theory is proposed. According to it, orbital instability leads to diversified cell behaviors first. At the next stage, several cell types are formed, first triggered by clustering of oscillations, and then as attracting states of internal dynamics stabilized by the cell-to-cell interaction. At the third stage, the differentiation is determined as a recursive state by cell division. At the last stage, hierarchical differentiation proceeds, with the emergence of stochastic rule for the differentiation to sub-groups, where regulation of the probability for the differentiation provides the diversity and stability of cell society. Relevance of the theory to cell biology is discussed.Comment: 19 pages, Int.J. Mod. Phes. B (in press
