Anticipative and coordinated processes 2

Evolution & principles Synchronization

Continuously adapt to the environment Chaotic changes react to adverse conditions Rhythm synchronize by predicting changes

Anticipative and coordinated processes 3

Evolution & principles Action & complexity

Acting in a dynamical environment Perception complexity increases with possible actions Need to take genetically unpredictable choices anytime

Anticipative and coordinated processes 5

Evolution & principles Memory and interactions

Adapting during life rather than evolution Basic set of reflexes to survive with immediate actions Interactions learning to better anticipate and act accordingly

Anticipative and coordinated processes 7

Interactions Reactive vs. anticipative

Two interpretations of the interactions Reaction to a stimulus (and a context) Anticipation of the consequences of actions
