Computers that interact with complex systems-for example in building automation-are facing the challenge of having to cope with vast amounts of data. Furthermore, the control systems have to be able to process data within real-time constraints. Classical Artificial Intelligence is not able to provide an appropriate solution yet. The provided algorithms used for isolated tasks can hardly be integrated into a larger, more capable all-purpose system as needed for dealing with complex systems. Opposed to classical approaches in Artificial Intelligence, a novel, bionic approach is followed: The metapsychology-a model of the human psyche defined by psychoanalysis-is examined regarding its technical feasibility. This book describes such a model with focus on the interaction of the psychoanalytic instance Id with the body of the agent.
