Summary: The lower animals, at any rate, with their environment may be much simplified for our purpose by noting that one animal may be considered to be split into several, or many, parts, each of which has its own environment. So animal and environment = several machines, not one. Dominance and velocity Equilibrium of organisations Independence and velocity Levels mechanism of Organisation stable 0977 0978

Dominance chain of Organisation chain of organisations 0979 0980

Organisation number of parameters Parameter number of Summary: We have discussed the situation: p's dominate x's, and x's dominate y's. Under these conditions we can get a stability of organisation. Also we can get y-point in y-space moving twice through the same point in different directions. If the x's react rapidly they will tend to disappear functionally. A succession of such gives transmission through a series of organisations. If one level has only a few, or a single, variable this introduces an essential simplicity into all subsequent levels. A large organisation may be 'simple' because it depends on only one or a few parameters. Equilibrium of organisations Organisation exploring organisation 0981 0982

Summary: Details are given showing that it is possible to explore, experimentally, a given field or organisation. To do this parameters are necessary, and it may be necessary to introduce new ones not mentioned before. Field (of substitution) exploring Organisation number of parameters 0983 0984

Summary: (1) Brain activity will sometimes conduct an animal, with great ingenuity, to its death. (2) Survival is a by-product of brain activity. Summary: It is agreed, with 928, that a reversible system is of no interest from our point of view and does not exist in nature anyway. Neutral point (of equilibrium - including 'cycle', 'region' etc.) effect of change of parameter Organisation irreversible Parameter and neutral point Summary: We show how to calculate the shift of a neutral point for a small change of parameter when the substitution is given as differential equations, (if finite substitution 927) (if several parameters, 1023) Parameter changes of state of equilibrium 1009 1010

Summary: The idea that "orderliness" or "intelligence" spreads like crystallisation is probably covered more correctly by the more precise idea that it is "reaching neutral point and stopping still" which spreads along a chain of dominance. Break equations for Dominance chain of Equilibrium spread of Organisation spread of Step function in differential equations 1047 1048

Summary: The concept of "breaks" by itself is not sufficient to cause any emergence of adaptation or intelligence. Brain, i.e. a machine of particular type, is necessary. (See 1063) Adaptation brain necessary Brain necessary Intelligence brain necessary Break in machine Organisation in machinery, examples Society [12]: Organisation has two complexities: number of variables and number of parameters, 0984. In man-made machines, 1054. 1053 1054

Summary: The idea of a system, like the brain, altering its own organisation necessarily implies the presence of step-functions and breaks. Break to change organisation Organisation self change = break 1057 1058

Summary: It is shown conclusively that "isomorphism" does not necessarily imply "group". Organisation properties different from parts Oddments [9]: Properties of organisation may be quite different from those of the parts: 1061 (wheel rolling, temperature of gas, etc). Summary: Some examples are given showing how a statement may be quite true about the whole and yet quite untrue of all the parts. 1061 1062

Adaptation by break Brain essentials of Break and adaptation Summary: Although a general system has no tendency to survival by adaptive behaviour, yet a "brain" has. Details are given. (see 1068) Organisation two meanings united 1063 1064

Summary: A definition of 'organisation' is given which covers both dynamic, machine, organisations, and static, pattern ones. Organisation definition Summary: An "organisation", by the definition of the previous page, need not be a group. Group (mathematical) and organisation Organisation in group 1065 1066

Summary: A discussion is given of the meaning of the "change of organisation" (if any) which occurs when a system settles at a new neutral point without change of the field. i.e. a variable, without change of field, going outside the "range of stability" of one neutral point. A complete clarification is given, together with its relation to my previous ideas of "breaks".

Summary: "Break-surfaces" are examined and some properties noted. Break surface layers of, protect variable Organisation break 1095 1096

Summary: It might be suggested that with a million neurons the chance of getting them all properly adjusted is negligibly small. The answer is that there is usually no such thing as the right solution. We count as suitable any organisation whatsoever so long as it gets the equilibrium where we want it. Organisation no "right" Summary: After studying the fixed points in a dynamic world (i.e. neutral points) I presume the next step would be to take a lot of neutral points and set them moving. Equilibrium change of 1099 1100

Summary: A variable may add further break-surfaces for its further protection by deputising, i.e. by controlling another variable so that the latter breaks if the first goes too far. And this leads to the important observation that it does not matter where or why a break occurs as long as it occurs. From my point of view, all that is wanted is some change of organisation and it doesn't matter how or why it is done. Any change is as good as any other change. Organisation joining two organisations 1105 1106

Summary: "Reaction" is divided into "response" and "variation". Summary: The intrinsic form of a substitution might prove interesting.

Matrix of organisation Organisation splitting into parts Summary: Preliminary discussion of a machine falling, temporarily, into parts. 1133 1134

Summary: If an organisation stops at a field which is only partly stable this does not really matter; for if the danger of breaking is large, it will soon break and try new fields, while if the danger is small then there is little to worry about. Break number of Organisation number of 1139 1140

Summary: A review of Jennings' book. Organisation of organisations Summary: The "constants" i.e. variables whose changes make observed behaviour may themselves be activities composed of other variables. And these "constants" whose changes make.... This needs specifying from the organisational point of view. (See 1193) Machine definition Organisation definition 1155 1156

Summary: A refinement of the definition of "organisation". Summary: "Memory" equals change of organisation. Memory as break Organisation and memory Summary: "Adapted" behaviour equals the behaviour of any system around a point of normal equilibrium. (1148) Adaptation is equilibrium 1157 1158
