DESIGN FOR A BRAIN 15/8 These remaiks are probably sufficient for the moment to show that the absence of connexions between organismal subsystems in Figure 15/7/1 does not condemn the representation off-hand. There is more to this matter of joining than is immediately evident. (The topic is resumed in S. 17/2.) Serial adaptation 15/8. By S. 15/3, our second stage of connectedness in the system occurs when the parts of the environment are joined as a chain. Figure 15/8/1 illustrates the Figure 15/8/1. Without enquiring at the moment into exactly what will happen, it is obvious, by analogy with the previous section, that adaptation must occur in the sequence—A first, then B, then C. Thus we are considering the case of the organism that faces an environment whose parts are so related that the environment can be adapted to only by a process that respects its natural articulation. 15/9. Such environments are of common occurrence. A puppy can learn rabbit-catching only after it has learned how to run: the environment does not allow the two reactions to be learned in the opposite order. A great deal of learning occurs in this way. Mathematics, for instance, though too vast and intricate for one all-comprehending flash, can be mastered by stages. The stages have a natural articulation which must be respected if mastery is 200.
