  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.
