Chapter 11 - MOTO

[Paul Terlemezian]

Motor Intelligence - MOTO

1. Eat (the origin of logic)
2. Don't get eaten (the origin of story)

The need to eat caused the brain to develop the ability to see - gathering input...

To not get eaten, the brain developed the power to act - innovate behavior...

Data and abstractions and actions (Page 222)

A computer can tell you what to eat but it cannot eat if for you

A mechanical aspect of the brain is a synapse (Page 224)

Story trains our MOTO (page 226)

Distinguish logic from narrative (what do you think vs. what do you want to think - force a difference)

A tug of war between story (Shakespeare) and logic (e.g,, AI)
