/**
 * The AIMA framework uses dynamic attributes to make implementations of agents
 * and environments completely independent of each other. The disadvantage of
 * this concept is, that it's error-prone. This set of constants is designed to
 * make information exchange more reliable for map agents. Two kinds of
 * attributes are distinguished. Percept attributes are attached to percepts.
 * They are generated by the environment and read by by the agent.
 * EnvironmentState attributes are attached to the EnvironmentState of the
 * Environment.
