I call this the "generalized selected effects" theory of function (GSE) (see benefit is that it allows a process called "neural selection" to create new brain functions – allow natural selection and trial-and-error to create new (direct proper) functions, but not neural selection to be a function-bestowing process. processes like trial-and-error learning and neural selection, in addition to natural selection My argument is not that trial-and-error is a function-bestowing selection process because that antibody selection is a function-bestowing process because it, too, is "just like" selection and trial-and-error should also count as function-bestowing processes, too.6 ./cache/work_f3ppk7gzrnatxlbedscpeynpt4.pdf ./txt/work_f3ppk7gzrnatxlbedscpeynpt4.txt
