Core Viewpoint - The article presents the Generalized Agent Theory, which aims to unify concepts from artificial intelligence, physics, and philosophy by establishing a framework that connects the roles of "observers" in physics with "agents" in AI [1][2][27]. Group 1: Development of Generalized Agent Theory - The exploration of Generalized Agent Theory began in 2014, initially assessing the intelligence levels of humans and AI systems, leading to the establishment of a standard agent model [4]. - Over the years, intelligence tests were conducted, showing significant advancements in AI, with the highest scoring AI surpassing the intelligence level of a 14-year-old by 2024 [4]. - The theory identifies two extreme states of intelligence: Alpha agents (zero intelligence) and Omega agents (infinite intelligence), introducing concepts of Alpha and Omega forces that drive agent evolution [5][6]. Group 2: Theoretical Framework of Generalized Agent Theory - The theory comprises a standard agent model, evolutionary dynamics (intelligent fields, intelligent gravity, and "wisdom"), classifications of different intelligence levels (three main categories and 243 subtypes), and 18 types of multi-agent relationships [7]. - The standard agent model is built on five fundamental functional modules: information input, information output, dynamic storage, information creation, and control function [8][10]. - The five basic functions define an agent's essence and are measured in a five-dimensional capability vector space, allowing for a systematic classification of all potential agents [11][12]. Group 3: Multi-Agent Relationships - The theory analyzes multi-agent relationships through three dimensions: perception relationships, communication relationships, and interaction relationships, leading to a comprehensive understanding of agent interactions [13][14]. Group 4: Intelligent Fields and Gravity - The "extreme point intelligent field model" is introduced to describe the evolutionary dynamics of agents, characterized by Alpha decay fields and Omega enhancement fields [15][16]. - The net intelligent evolution field represents the combined effect of these two forces on an agent's evolution [16]. Group 5: Wisdom as an Intrinsic Property - "Wisdom" is defined as a dynamic measure of an agent's overall information processing capability, influenced by the synergy of its five core functions [17]. - The theory highlights two key effects of wisdom: the Matthew effect, where higher wisdom leads to faster capability growth, and the resilience effect, where higher wisdom enhances resistance to decline [17]. Group 6: Implications for AI and Philosophy - The Generalized Agent Theory provides new insights into fundamental questions in AI, defining intelligence as the overall effectiveness and adaptability of an agent under the influence of Alpha and Omega fields [18]. - It also reinterprets the concept of consciousness as the control function of an agent, distinguishing between self-awareness and awareness of others based on the source of control commands [18]. Group 7: Insights into Physics - The theory offers a new perspective on the relationship between observers in physics and agents, suggesting that the universe can be viewed as a complex generalized agent evolving between Alpha and Omega states [19]. - It explains the differences among classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum mechanics as arising from the varying capabilities of observer agents [20][21][23]. - The concept of entropy is redefined as a measure of information loss related to the observer's capabilities, linking it to the dynamics of intelligent agents [24][25][26]. Group 8: Conclusion - The Generalized Agent Theory aims to provide a unified theoretical foundation for fragmented research in intelligent sciences, potentially reconciling contradictions between general relativity and quantum mechanics [27].
