I
is an operator of the observation of the environment surrounding the agent
a
(which may be referred to as the imagination of the agent
a
), expressed with the
formula
m
=
I
(v,
M
),
m
∈
M.
(3.5)
The model
m
is formed as a result of the operator's activity of observation of the
environment
v
on the basis of the knowledge
M
(certain kind of experience) of
the agent
a
.
X
is an operator of the realization of the chosen strategy
s
by the agent
a
inagiven
environment
v
. The operator
X
may be defined as follows:
v
=
v, v
∈
V,
X
(
s
,
m
,v),
m
∈
M,
s
∈
S
(3.6)
where
v
is an environment created as a result of the activity of the agent
a
realizing
the chosen strategy
s
in the environment
v
on the basis of the analysis of the
model
m
.
The above dependencies have been schematically illustrated in a schema in the
Fig.

.
Based on the notions introduced, the algorithm of the autonomous agent may be
presented as follows:
:
(
, Q, S,
,
,
1. Start is a moment of creation (generation) of the agent
a
M
I
X
.
At this stage, the initial state of relationship is also set between the agent and the
space
E
(i. g. the initial placement of the agent is set). Continue to step 2.
2. The observation of the surroundings and the construction of the model
m
of the
surrounding environment (
m
,
q
,
s
)
, and then placing this agent in the specific environment
v
=
(
E
,
A
,
C
)
v
) with the use of operation
I
:
m
=
I
(v,
M
)
. Continue
to step 3.
