as control shifts between competing brain regions, again, based on high-level "cognitive demand." Deacon's intuition is similar to the one that led Edelman to propose Neural Darwinism tEcle931, and Calvin and Bickerton IC13001 to pose the notion of mind as a "Darwin Machine". The latter have given plau

ssumption about the nature of the environments that intelligent agents are operating in. As discussed in roe06] it requires an assumption related to Peirce's philosophical axiom of the "tendency to take habits," which posits that in the real world, entities possessing some similar patterns have a proba
