3. Procreation: ability to create separate instances of itself and pass along its memories and successful adaptations and experience.

5. Environmental Awareness – The Agent has the ability to sense, map, and navigate it’s environment.
6. Fight or Flight – The ability of the Agent to detect possible dangers to it’s existence and to determine whether to attempt escape or self-defense.
