Abstract

This paper is about systems with complete models of themselves (down to some very low level of detail). We explain how to build such a system (using careful system engineering, and our Wrapping approach to flexible integration infrastructures for Constructed Complex Systems), and why we want to do so (it is at least interesting, and we believe it is essential for effective autonomy). The long-term goal is the use of these models to understand modeling processes, so that computing systems can be built that can do their own modeling and construct their own abstractions, which we believe is important for computational intelligence.
