Learning From the Input Side of the Box

Review:

motor symphony, central pattern generation, distributed (no conductor), genetics/experience, corollary discharge, effects on input, expectation, choice, purpose/conflicting purposes, neocortex as inhibitor and creator of novel patterns ...
I-function less good than unconscious at many tasks involving uncertainty, multiple variables; better at new tasks, and at "alerting" when things don't go "right"

Go on to input side

• Multiple inputs, unconscious/"I-function" distinction
• Brain "making things up"
• Built in presumptions of "reality"
• Ambiguity as fundamental
• Testing and retesting
• Again an unconscious/"I-function" distinction in abilities/uses
• Perception an exploratory process, testing and retesting
