To make the non-physical reality environments/experience engaging, entertaining, and useful for simulation and training purposes, it should be populated by virtual humans (characters animated by the system) that, in many cases, should interact with avatars (characters acting as representatives or proxies of humans) in a believable, smooth, and rewarding way. Virtual humans are named differently depending on the context: non-player characters in the game context, AI avatars in the metaverse, etc. Whatever the name, in order to be realistic and to reach the goal for which they were designed, they should be autonomous, reactive, and social, and they should exhibit intelligent behavior. In other words, they should be intelligent software agents.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
