Fractal Intelligence

In the Past chapter, it was suggested that there is a connection between the detection of cyclic activity at the conscious level, perhaps arising from paradox or dilemma, and the detection of incipient instability at the continuous-control level. In each case, detection is normally followed by action that suppresses the cyclic activity. It is further suggested that in biological systems, the continuous-control action should be seen as the more primitive, with conceptual-level behaviour evolved from it but not displacing it.
