  Object-Oriented Reinforcement Learning (OORL) Object implementation based on
  Autonomous Agent Object Specification (AAOS).

  Represents an autonomous object with internal state, methods, goals, world model,
  interaction history, and self-descriptive meta-DSL capabilities.
  
  ## Core Features
  
  - **Autonomous State Management**: Each object maintains its own internal state
  - **Method Execution**: Objects can execute predefined and dynamic methods
  - **Goal-Oriented Behavior**: Objects have objective functions that guide their actions
  - **World Model**: Objects maintain beliefs about their environment
  - **Interaction History**: Complete record of all interactions with other objects
  - **Meta-DSL**: Self-descriptive language for introspection and self-modification
  - **Communication**: Mailbox system for message passing with other objects
  - **Learning**: Reinforcement learning capabilities with experience replay
  - **Social Learning**: Ability to learn from interactions with peer objects
  
  ## Object Lifecycle
  
  1. **Creation**: Objects are created with initial state and capabilities
  2. **Interaction**: Objects interact with environment and other objects
  3. **Learning**: Objects update their policies based on experiences
  4. **Evolution**: Objects can modify their own behavior through meta-DSL
  5. **Coordination**: Objects form dyads and coalitions for collaborative tasks
  
  ## Meta-DSL Constructs
  
  Objects support several meta-language constructs for self-modification:
  
  - `:define` - Define new attributes or capabilities
  - `:goal` - Modify objective functions
  - `:belief` - Update world model beliefs
  - `:infer` - Perform inference on current knowledge
  - `:decide` - Make decisions based on current state
  - `:learn` - Process learning experiences
  - `:refine` - Adjust learning parameters
  
  ## Examples
  
      # Create a basic object
      object = Object.new(id: "agent_1", state: %{energy: 100})
      
      # Update object state
      object = Object.update_state(object, %{energy: 95})
      
      # Execute a method
      {:ok, updated_object} = Object.execute_method(object, :learn, [experience])
      
      # Apply meta-DSL construct
      result = Object.apply_meta_dsl(object, :infer, inference_data)

  Updates the object's internal state with comprehensive error handling.
  
  Performs a safe merge of the new state with the existing state, validating
  the update before applying it. If validation fails, the original object
  is returned unchanged and an error is logged.
  
  ## Parameters
  
  - `object` - The object to update
  - `new_state` - Map of state updates to merge into current state
  
  ## Returns
  
  Updated object with merged state, or unchanged object if validation failed.
  
  ## Validation Rules
  
  - New state must be a map
  - State size cannot exceed 100 entries
  - Cannot contain forbidden keys (:__internal__, :__system__, :__meta__)
  
  ## Examples
  
      # Update sensor readings

  Calculates similarity between two objects.
  
  Computes a similarity score between two objects based on their state,
  methods, and goal functions. This is useful for clustering, coalition
  formation, and social learning partner selection.
  
  ## Parameters
  
  - `obj1` - First object for comparison
  - `obj2` - Second object for comparison
  
  ## Returns
  
  Similarity score between 0.0 (completely different) and 1.0 (identical).
  
  ## Similarity Metrics
  
  The overall similarity is the average of:
  - **State similarity**: Based on common state variables and their values
  - **Method similarity**: Jaccard similarity of method sets
  - **Goal similarity**: Functional similarity based on sample evaluations
  
  ## Examples
  
      # Identical objects
      # iex> obj1 = Object.new(state: %{x: 1})
      # iex> obj2 = Object.new(state: %{x: 1})

      # iex> Object.similarity(sensor1, sensor2)  # 50% method overlap
      0.67

  - **Coalition Formation**: Find compatible partners
  - **Social Learning**: Identify good imitation targets
  - **Object Clustering**: Group similar objects
  - **Dyad Formation**: Assess interaction compatibility

  Generates an embedding representation of the object.
  
  Creates a dense vector representation of the object that captures its
  essential characteristics. This embedding can be used for similarity
  calculations, clustering, and machine learning applications.
  
  ## Parameters
  
  - `object` - The object to embed
  - `dimension` - Embedding vector dimension (default: 64)
  
  ## Returns
  
  List of floats representing the object in the embedding space.
  Values are normalized to the range [-1, 1].
  
  ## Embedding Strategy
  
  The embedding is based on:
  - Object state hash for state information
  - Methods hash for capability information
  - Deterministic random generation for reproducibility
  
  ## Examples
  
      # Generate 64-dimensional embedding
      # iex> embedding = Object.embed(object)
      # iex> length(embedding)
      64

      # iex> small_embed = Object.embed(object, 8)
      # iex> length(small_embed)
      8
      
  ## Use Cases
  
  - **Similarity Search**: Find similar objects efficiently
  - **Clustering**: Group objects by embedded characteristics
  - **Visualization**: Project objects to 2D/3D for analysis
  - **Machine Learning**: Features for ML models
  
  ## Properties
  
  - **Deterministic**: Same object always produces same embedding
  - **Stable**: Small object changes produce small embedding changes
  - **Distributed**: Similar objects have similar embeddings
