4.2.1 Core Architecture Design
Core Architecture Design
The agent framework consists of multiple modules that work in close coordination to support the perception, decision-making, and action capabilities of agents. According to the architecture diagram, the agent framework includes the following core components:
1. World Rules Module
This includes trading systems, housing systems, education systems, and other modules related to the operation of a virtual society. These rules define the basic operational logic of the environment in which agents exist and constrain their behavior.
For example, the trading system enables economic activities for agents, and the election system supports democratic decision-making among agents.
2. Behavior and Planning Module
The Planner is the core module for agent behavior, encompassing the following functionalities:
Environmental Perception: Captures environmental data through sensors or virtual inputs, identifying task objectives and external changes.
Daily Planner: Generates daily activity plans for agents, dynamically adjusting behavior based on time and resources.
Detailed Planner and Behavior Sequence Generator: Further refines task planning, generating specific behavior sequences for the execution module.
The behavior planning module integrates with the Event Queue to enable dynamic task distribution and priority management.
3. Memory and State Management Module
Running State serves as the memory module for agents, storing the current task state and long-term memory data. It supports behavior optimization through the following functionalities:
Short-Term Memory: Enables real-time task scheduling and state feedback.
Long-Term Memory: Helps agents retain experiences and recall relevant information for future decisions.
The Memory Module also facilitates data sharing among internal submodules (e.g., Action Agent and Conversation Agent), improving overall efficiency.
4. Dialogue Module and Natural Language Processing
The dialogue module enables agents to interact with users or other agents through natural language, including the following core features:
Message Distribution: Distributes user inputs or environmental information to the relevant modules for processing.
Time and Topic Planner: Determines the logic and content direction of conversations based on context.
Agents can dynamically adjust task behaviors through dialogue, enhancing interaction with users.
5. Advanced Abstraction Modules
Agents possess advanced modules such as emotion, psychological states, and constitutions, making their behavior more human-like and complex.
These modules support the long-term behavioral evolution of agents and the establishment of relationships with other agents through continuously updated state management.
