The possibility, latent in systems, to construct behavioral programs.
W. ROSS ASHBY observes that the human brain is preprogrammed. Its organization is a result of former evolution and, at the same time it offers potentialities for more programming through training and learning (which results quite probably of the progressive ordering — or eventual reordering — of neural nets) (1963, p.215)
Thus, the operative capability of the natural intelligent “machine” results of progressive self-programming, i.e. of the construction of behavioral algorithms.
It is likely that efficient high level artificial intelligence can be constructed only along similar lines.
