model.interaction module¶

Module to hold interaction classes.

class model.interaction.CompositeInteraction(pre, post)¶

Bases: model.interaction.Interaction

get_post()¶

get_pre()¶

reconstruct_from_hierarchy(sequence)¶

to_json()¶

unwrap()¶

Unwrap the composite interaction.

Returns:	A list of primitive interactions.

class model.interaction.Interaction(name)¶

Bases: object

get_name()¶

Get the name of this interaction.

Returns:	The name of this interaction.
Return type:	basestring

reconstruct_from_hierarchy(sequence)¶

Reconstruct a sequence of enacted (primitive) interactions into the hierarchical structure represented by this interaction.

See section 4.2 of: Georgeon, O. L., & Ritter, F. E. (2012). An intrinsically-motivated schema mechanism to model and simulate emergent cognition. Cognitive Systems Research, 15, 73-92.

Parameters:	sequence – The sequence of primitive interactions to turn into a composite/primitive interaction.
Returns:	The composite/primitive interaction reconstructed from the sequence.

unwrap()¶

Get the sequence of interactions represented by this interaction.

Returns:	The sequence of interactions represented by this itneraction.

class model.interaction.PrimitiveInteraction(name, result)¶

Bases: model.interaction.Interaction

get_result()¶

Get the result of the interaction this primitive represents.

Returns:	The resut of the interaction this primitive represents.

reconstruct_from_hierarchy(sequence)¶

to_json()¶

unwrap()¶

Get the primitive interaction as a singleton.

Returns:	The primitive interaction as a singleton.

class model.interaction.PrimitivePerceptionInteraction(interaction, perception)¶

Bases: model.interaction.Interaction

A primitive perception interaction is a construct containing both a primitive interaction and a perception.

get_name()¶

get_primitive_interaction()¶

reconstruct_from_hierarchy(sequence)¶

to_json()¶

unwrap()¶

Get the primitive interaction and perception in the perception interaction as a singleton.

Returns:	The primitive interaction and perception in the perception interaction as a singleton.
