A separate, autonomous process that runs in parallel with other processes (demons) and may interact with them. The idea was introduced in 1959 by O. Selfridge in a model called Pandemonium, designed to perform automatic recognition of a hand-sent Morse Code by means of a large number of demons (detectors for particular properties of the input). The more evidence a demon accumulated for the unit it represented, the louder it would "shout" to other demons. 5, record 17, English, - agent

The trigger is a predicate that triggers the demon's response whenever a state change induces a change in the value of the trigger predicate from false to true. 7, record 17, English, - agent
