Abstract
The Intelligent Agent Grid Environment is a scalable, live, sustainable and intelligent networking environment where humans, agents, machines and nature can harmoniously co-exist, work and evolve. It automatically collects useful information from nature and society according to requirements, transforms it into resources in the environment, and then after intelligent processing, affects nature and society through machines. According to the regulations and principles of the environment, people, agents and resources can intelligently cooperate with each other to accomplish tasks, generate knowledge and solve problems by actively participating in versatile flow cycles in the environment through roles and machines. The Environment is the unity of the natural material world, virtual world and cognitive world. Various types of attraction in the environment drive the flows. The rules of flows guide the development and management of the environment.
