Model of freud´s “pleasure pump” in virtual robots

The contribution sketches a reformulation of S. Freud´s concept of the so-called “pleasure pump” formulated in his manuscript Project of Scientific Psychology from 1895, into the computationalistic conceptual framework of multiagent - or “resource”, as M. Minsky has proposed in his book The Emotion Machine (2006) - systems, and provides its demonstration within a programmed system of software agents developed to be analogical to the fundamental ideas of the concept. In this way we check Freud´s concept: generation of behavior similar to courting couple based just on individual mechanisms of the concept implies both its correctness and completeness.
