Modeling Adaptive Behavior with Conceptual Spaces

Abstract. We discuss a membrane-based calculus for the combination of conceptual spaces during runtime. Since our goal is to support emergent properties of behavior (and due to the fact that it is not possible to define a complete calculus for all situations) we introduce the notion of self-modification. Terms from situational description can evolve according to simple rules thus providing various possibilities for reactions.
