The Fully-joined System,stable system that has a very great number of parts. We shall find that one difficulty becomes outstanding, and we shall spend the remainder of the book dealing with it, for it is the main problem in the adaptation of large systems.

Brentano’s Concept of Descriptive Psychologye will infect all the subsequent discussion; and as we shall have to enter the realm where the physical and the psychological meet, a realm where the experience of centuries has found innumerable possibilities of confusion, we shall have to proceed with unusual caution.

The background, and these constancies, must now be considered.

The Problem,fficulty in reconciling them. On the one hand the physiologists have shown in a variety of ways how closely the brain resembles a machine: in its dependence on chemical reactions, in its dependence on the integrity of anatomical paths, and in the precision and determinateness with which its componen

Dynamic Systems,ur. These concepts are fundamental and must be properly defined. Accurate definition at this stage is of the highest importance, for any vagueness here will infect all the subsequent discussion; and as we shall have to enter the realm where the physical and the psychological meet, a realm where the

Thus, a particular simple pendulum provides two variables which are known (S. 2/15) to be such that, if we are given a particular state of the system, we can predict correctly its ensuing behaviour; what has not been stated explicitly is that this is tr

The Ultrastable System,the basic requirements of S. 2/10. We can now reconsider the basic problem of S. 5/14, and can consider what is implied by the fact that the kitten changes from having a cerebral mechanism that produces unadapted behaviour to having one which produces behaviour that is adapted.
