Concept

Communicative architecture

The rules and possibilities organizing who can communicate with whom, what information they receive and how their actions acquire consequences.

Working concept used in this agenda.

Why it matters

It helps distinguish agent behavior from constraints imposed by the environment.

Use in my research

Architecture is treated as an experimental condition and a communication question that must be documented.
