public class ConsumerConsumerPerceptionManipulationMessage
extends Message

A ConsumerConsumerPerceptionManipulationMessage is a message from a ConsumerAgent to a ConsumerAgent that changes the perception of the receiving ConsumerAgent given the perception of the sending ConsumerAgent. It is a message about a given ProductAttribute, whose perception (on evaluation of the message) gets changed by adding the perception of the ProductAttribute by the sending agent to the perception of the receiving one (i.e. by invoking addPerceivedProductAttributeValue by the current perception of the sending agent, via the modifyValue of the respective perception scheme). The strength of the connection of the agents is given through the edgeWeightConsumerEdge attribute associated with this message. If the receiving agent is not aware of the product the perception is about, they are made aware of it through this message.
