“…Human agents employ ecological deliberation for all but a very small proportion of the decisions that they make [15]. The neurological processes that enable human non-Cartesian deliberative processes are not well understood.…”

An agent architecture supports the two forms of deliberation used by human agents. Cartesian, constructivist rationalism leads to game theory, decision theory and logical models. Ecological rationalism leads to deliberative actions that are derived from agents' prior interactions and are not designed; i.e., they are strictly emergent. This paper aims to address the scant attention paid by the agent community to the predominant form of deliberation used by mankind.

“…These ideas date back to Sigmund Freud [5]. More recently, the different brain processes that support dual rationality have been extensively studied in cognitive science by Daniel Levine [8]. But, in artificial intelligence the term 'rationality' appears to apply exclusively to constructivist rationality.…”

International audienceThe concept of dual rationality in human agents is well understood. It is significant in the work of the economist and Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek. In psychology Sigmund Freud described 'dual information processing'. More recently in cognitive science Daniel Levine has extensively studied the dual mechanisms in the human brain that handle these two forms of rationality. It is perhaps surprising that work in artificial intelligence has focussed heavily on Cartesian constructivist rationality (particularly on game theory, decision theory and logic) as humans deliberate using models based on reason for only a minute proportion of the decisions that they make. This paper aims to open discussion on ecological rationality in artificial, computerised agents, and to examine some of the issues in designing ecologically rational agents
