`abstract NavigationGraph<V, A, L, R>`	`getCognitiveMap()`	The cognitive map of the agent.
`abstract Map<ConvexShape<V, A>, Integer>`	`getVolatileMemory()`	The volatile memory of the agent: it models the ability to remember areas of the environment already visited since the start of the simulation.

  - registerVisit
```
 <M extends ConvexShape<V, A>> Unit registerVisit(M area)
```
    Registers a visit to the provided area in the agent's volatileMemory.
  - getKnowledgeDegree
```
 abstract Double getKnowledgeDegree()
```
    The knowledge degree of the agent concerning the environment. This is a Double value in 0, 1 describing the percentage of environment the agent is familiar with prior to the start of the simulation (thus it does not take into account the knowledge the node will gain during it, namely the volatileMemory).
  - getCognitiveMap
```
 abstract NavigationGraph<V, A, L, R> getCognitiveMap()
```
    The cognitive map of the agent. It's a graph composed of landmarks (elements of the environment easy to remember due to their uniqueness) and spatial relations between them. It's modeled as a NavigationGraph.
  - getVolatileMemory
```
 abstract Map<ConvexShape<V, A>, Integer> getVolatileMemory()
```
    The volatile memory of the agent: it models the ability to remember areas of the environment already visited since the start of the simulation. Each area is paired with the number of visits. Areas are assumed to be represented as ConvexShapes, as in NavigationGraphs.
