Abstract:

The purpose of LispSEI and this document is to 1 Hide, once and for all, all C code within the SEI 2 Provide a convenient listing of lowest level Lisp functions accessing and changing state in the SEI 3 Provide a more precise definition of the capabilities of the different layers of the SEI. Currently the functions provided via FRANZSELL for example represent a mix of simple data copying operations for example, passing the list of world objects on up to the organism as well as more intelligent operations the multi-step implementation of turn for example. LispSEI will provide only the simple data passing and control operations defined below, with the more complex operations being defined elsewhere in the SEI 4 Separate out filtering operations from the basic copying of the world state. The filteringmassaging will be taking place in a number of library modules discusses elsewhere and 5 Clean up some other unnecessary hair present in the current SEI implementation.
