Device for Simulating a Medium Evolution by Asynchronous and Chaotic Processing in the Presence of Autonomous Interacting Entities and a Multi-Agent System

Device (D) for simulating the time evolution of a medium, suitable for being implanted in a computer (C) arranged to support a programming by activated objects in a multi-task mode, characterised in that it comprises:

• software for simulating by objects the joint evolution of at least some of said activated objects, comprising first objects known as “enaction” objects defining autonomous spatio-temporal entities each representing a physical phenomenon and, when activated, interacting within a multi-agent system via second objects known as “state” objects defining interaction mediators which provide a topological spatio-temporal support which forms a virtual environment representing the simulated medium and making it possible to detect the interactions between entities in space and time, and
• a simulation manager capable of operating by sequences on a selection of enaction objects, and of activating each enaction object only once for each sequence, in an order which varies at least partially in a random manner from one sequence to the other, so as to cause the spatio-temporal interactions between the enaction objects to evolve dynamically sequence by sequence.
