Creating an Immersive Game World with Evolutionary Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

The Evolutionary Fuzzy Cognitive Map improves on serious games by modeling both fuzzy and probabilistic causal relationships among the game's variables. It permits asynchronous updates of the variables so that they can evolve dynamically and stochastically. These improvements give players a more engaging, immersive experience.
