(perhaps non-changing is inaccurate.) learned behaviors -- created by the flow of inputs to ouputs through the internal information flow to enhance what was previously stored in the brain. 1 & 2 is what doesnt need to change. 3 is the part that does change, but its also the part that is not hardcode Eu, but rather a set of data structures manipulated by Eu hardcode. 1 in the human brain: rules on how neurons fire according to what signals they recieve. 2: the basic behaviors of crying and such that a baby knows as soon as it is born (not much compared to an adult, but much compared to a conventinal computer program.) 3: what is learned as the baby (and brain) grows up. jbrown --
