The nature of reality • Networks of complex causation • There is far more to reality than you see • There is far more to reality than you can see
Proliferation and Death Natural Selection: The solution to the frame problem
The world must be framed • Motivation sets frame • Not “goals,” not “drives,” not “reflexes” • Includes goals, emotions, perceptions, actions • Emotions track progress • Ahead • Stop, Back
The world is framed • Motivation sets goals • Emotions track progress towards goals • There is some overlap, because there is no single “motivation” system and no single “emotion” system
Basic Motivations? • Hunger • Thirst • Pain • Anger/Aggression • Thermoregulation • Panic/Escape • Affiliation/Care • Sexual Desire • Exploration • Play • Self Maintenance • Ingestive • Defensive • Self Propagation • Reproductive
Basic Emotions? • Approach (behavioral activation) • Curiosity • Joy • Hope • Interest • Defense & avoidance (flight & behavioral inhibition) • Pain • Anxiety • Disgust
Order and Chaos Revolutionary Anomaly
Hippocampus • Old idea • Compares what is expected to what is • Problem: what is • New idea • Compares model of what is to what is desired
Amygdala • Mismatch • Hippocampal disinhibition • of reticular activating system inputs • to amygdala
