Input protein specialized: component that reacts to the outside world. How does all this stuff happen?: what do you need to put in a robot to make it do certain things? , you need a control system. Bacteria developed : sensor protein, memory protein, control protein, flagella, ^^ all this develops sensory/perceptual motor minds. The cognitive core a living universal: first point (1)^, second. Up to a certain level of complexity, the basic functions aren"t that different. Conation: has to do with will, intention, desire, impulse, goes from the individual to the world, you want the world to be what you think it should be, mind to world.
