Summary:PURPOSE:To enable a user to feel familiar to a computer and to provide an advanced information processing capability by taking in external information and autonomously discriminating it to set an intelligent agent (called a virtual living thing) acting like a living thing and using the computer to breed this virtual living thing. CONSTITUTION:The knowledge required for independent motion of a living thing is stored in a knowledge data base 4. The action of the virtual living thing is simulated based on the knowledge stored in the knowledge data base 4 and the internal state of the virtual living thing stored in an internal state variable preservation part 5, and the result is sent to a plotting system, a voice generating system, etc., and is outputted. A recording medium like a floppy, personal computer communication, or a network is used to deliver and gather virtual living things, and inter-process communication, a shared memory, or various apparatus are used to communicate data between living things, between the living thing and a user, and between users, and conversations, cooperation, and cooperative work are possible.
