Summary: Discriminative feedback's optimal spread depends on the spread of constraints in the environment. Discrimination optimal spread Summary: Feedback in a dispersive system should be first wide-spread and then progressingly narrower. 5413 Discrimination should contract with time The Multistable System [111]: Destructive feedback may at first, in the history of the multistable system, be scattered widely but should steadily be scattered in narrower range. 5371. 5370 5371

Arc must be discriminated Discrimination must be used Feedback must be discriminative The Multistable System [115]: A system that accumulates adaptations must use discrimination in its distribution of corrective feedback. 5410.

Summary: In all cases so far, all arcs are assumed to have some sign that they are, or have recently been, active, and the discriminative feedback hits only those with the sign. 5557, 5584, 5601, 5609, 5628 Activity as information for feedback Discrimination methods known Summary: Unsolved problem.
