What remains to be spelled out is a way to tell the difference between
genetically inherited and learned needs. A new test?Boy, those ideas just keep coming faster and faster.
No, just same idea futilely trying to get recognition. When you get the
time, I'd appreciate a response to:

What observations could you make that would lead to
rejection of the model?Exactly the same observations that Bill uses to test the extent
awareness plays a role in reorganization.You must mean that the same _type_ of observations that Bill uses
could be
used to test your model. I would like to know what specific
observations (of
that type) would lead to rejection of your model.
When I drive out the driveway, I know the major turns I will make to
take me on to Route 9 even before I reach the intersection, therefore I
must be predicting/anticipating/imagining what I will encounter. If I
encountered something else I would be surprised. If I encountered a
giant crater where Route 9 was and I was not surprised, I would reject
the hypothesis that I was anticipating what I would encounter.
When I open the refrigerator door, I know what I expect to see. I must
therefore be making a prediction before I open the door. If one day I
realized, just before I opened the refrigerator door, that I had
absolutely no idea what I expected to find, I would reject the
hypothesis that I anticipate what I will find before I open the door.
Shall I go on? Or is that enough to start with?
