Coherence

Coherence refers to an agent's ability to resolve conflicts between competing or conflicting goals, resulting in behavior that transitions smoothly. Informally, a coherent agent is one that does not behave schizophrenically in the presence of environmental inputs that indicate different appropriate responses. The concept differs from rationality which is associated with high level cognition in that it is usually associated with reactive agents.

The following architectures demonstrate coherence:
