Representation and Interpretation of Multi-Agent Systems through Deleuzian Thought

Öz

This study combines multi-agent systems and Deleuzian thought with an interdisciplinary approach, aiming to bring together the explanatory world of the natural sciences and the world of meanings of the social sciences. The study first analyzes the conceptual framework of Deleuzian thought and the working mechanisms of swarm behaviors in multi-agent-based systems. In this context, the concepts of machine, assemblage, rhizome, and flow, which appear in the Deleuzian thought system of the twentieth-century French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, were focused on mainly. Subsequently, the relationships between Deleuzian thought and multi-agent systems are examined and interpreted through animated representations created using the Java language in Processing, a graphical programming software. After scrutinizing the representations created in the study, it was concluded that multi-agent systems are compatible with this system of thought, as agents themselves are capable of incorporating the concepts of Deleuzian thought within their working mechanisms. In this regard, the study concluded that multi-agent systems can be considered as ontological frameworks, philosophical systems of thought. Here, the study contributes to social sciences and design research by offering a computationally grounded lens through which concepts of a thought system can be represented, observed, and interpreted in action. By demonstrating how multi-agent systems embody machinic assemblages, emergent flows, and rhizomatic relations, the study provides a methodological approach that enables philosophical concepts and contemporary social theories to inform structure and inspire new forms of creative and analytical inquiry.
