A brief review of the Internal Behaviour network is followed by the explanation of the implementation of the simulation.

This combination model includes additive and multiplicative elements, which allows to incorporate new properties, which enhance the action selection. A given parameter a, which is part of the proposed model, allows to regulate the degree of dependence of the observed external behaviour from the internal states of the entity.}, url = {http://uk.arxiv.org/abs/cs.AI/0211040}, author = {P.
