  1. █ Divider: 10
  2. █ Section Title: Unsolved problems
  3. █ Can I demonstrate, on any of my machines, the Traffic principle? 1981.
  4. █ Can Masserman's principles (2045) be demonstrated?
  5. █ Can I demonstrate that after adaptation has been achieved, a process of "roughing it" (mutations) improves the adaptation? 2292.6.
  6. █ Absolute systems with a "complex" clock or time, 2332.
  7. █ Can the secondary conditional reflex of 2699 be demonstrated?
  8. █ Expectation in the human directs learning: experiment demonstrating this; inexplicable. 2843.
  9. █ Transfer of training, from say one hand to the other, is not yet well explained 2846.
  10. █ A calculus is wanted to handle variables in their activations, 2890.
  11. █ Cannot the 'experimenter' who injects disturbances be replaced by a more 'natural' phenomenon? 2897.
  12. █ The bee that wanders from its hive and returns, 2931.
  13. █ 'Stability' should be re-stated in terms of information, so as not to raise the unwanted 'unstable' equilibria. 3929.
  14. █ Why do we take so much notice of a step-function? 3994. (because of its 1-bit simplicity).
  15. █ Paradox of which is the more important, permanence or change 4521.
  16. █ Represent this by a pay-off matrix:- the case when the disturbance is compound and one component varies only occasionally. 5075.
  17. █ State the thesis that "selection forces adaptation" in terms of disturbance and regulation. 5075.
  18. █ What can be said of habituation, or of the events in experience, when the set of vectors shows constraint? 5256.
  19. █ Does the thalamus exist to teach in childhood, becoming functionless later on? 6121.
  20. █ Can I demonstrate, in any of my machines, any phenomenon like "association"?
  21. █ Can the answer yet be given adequately to the question: If a variable is forced repeatedly to a value, will it tend to stick there?
  22. █ Problem: How fast does multiple selection occur in generalised systems, (compare with Lerner's vn speed). (Does not "independence" mean precisely that the others make no difference?)
  23. █ What can a machine transmit? 6384.
  24. █ Can all the pair-wise direct transmission TI-AB(A:B) be given arbitrarily? 6653.
