- I guess I don't (yet) see the point of not drawing a line between the
- inside & outside of critters. Maybe Sonja is not the best example of
- this, because she's not a full-scall critter-in-environment simulation, but
- Randy Beer's bug is, and there seems to me to be a clear difference
- between the neural circuits & currents on the inside & the locations of
- the food-patches, barriers, etc. on the outside. I take Beer's point not
- to be that there is no inside-outside distinction, but that the
- explanations for behavioral patterns (at the `molar' level, if I
- remember my psych. jargon corrrectly) are often to be find in neither
- place exclusively.
