Systems and methods for presenting metaphors

A non-transitory machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor for a communication system, implemented by an artificial intelligence system, for managing communication over a communication network between an individual and one or more entities seeking to communicate with the individual, control the system to perform operations comprising:

• collecting information about the individual;
• generating a multidimensional measure of availability and receptiveness of the individual to communicate based on the collected information and weighting factors of the collected information, wherein the multidimensional measure is represented in a plurality of dimensions, the plurality of dimensions comprising at least a context of activity dimension including a plurality of different context of activity elements for the individual, an identity of entity dimension including a plurality of different entity elements corresponding to the entities, and a metaphorical expression dimension including a plurality of different metaphorical expression elements;
• generating one or more different multidimensional scenarios, each multidimensional scenario including at least a first element from the context of activity dimension, a second element from the identity of entity dimension, and a third element from the metaphorical expression dimension;
• controlling initiating of a communication process with the individual by a first entity of the entities, based on a first scenario of the one or more different multidimensional scenarios that includes a second element corresponding the first entity;
• generating, based on at least the first element and third element for the first scenario, a metaphor comprising media content depicting an intermediary, wherein at least a portion of the media content comprises synthesized media content, wherein audio content of the media content comprises a synthesized audio portion, and wherein visual content of the media content comprises a synthesized image portion;
• wherein the media content is generated based on information obtained in a vicinity of the individual;
• wherein the operations further comprise receiving image information from an image sensor located in the vicinity of the individual, and receiving audio information from an audio system located in the vicinity of the individual;
• providing queries via the intermediary during a communication exchange between a first entity and the intermediary according to a communication access policy based on the first scenario;
• and controlling the communication process based on responses to the queries.
