Abstract :
To investigate agents´ intelligent acts in a multi-dimensional space and analyze their mental status in different granular metric scales or affordance, a new concept ecological calculus for multi-agent systems is put forward based on essential standpoints of ecology and universal logics. Qualitative and quantitative models of ecological calculus for a general multi-agent systems´ framework are presented based on generalized modeling methods for large systems cybernetics. And a use case in natural language processing with a generic algorithm is applied to prove the validity of the frame. Experiments show that not only does the framework help us to understand and interpret many natural phenomena such as fuzzy concepts or propositions, but also to solve complex agents´ interaction problems such as negotiation and competition.
