this means that mutually-exclusive functionalities, such as antagonistic
musculature, must be mapped in a topologically mirror-image way... one
'side' gets activated, the other deactivated... all in accord with one
global topology that's got point-to-point correspondence with
directionalities within the external environment in which an organism
exists.

superficially, there seems to be a lot of easily-seen evidence which
'contradicts' all this, but when 2nd, 3rd, etc. functional relationships are
accounted for, all that results is the one topological 'map', and maximized
efficiency within the neural topology that it constitutes.

over the long-term, TD E/I-minimization directs the host organism to 'climb'
the energy-flow gradient that is the one-way flow of energy from order to
disorder that is what's described by 2nd Thermo (wdb2t). because of this, TD
E/I-minimization automatically by-produces behaviors that enhance organisms'
prospects for discovering 'food' [energy augmentation]... which is 'just'
the opposite of wdb2t, which constitutes a 'climbing' of the wdb2t gradient.

evolutionary dynamics hit on the TD E/I-minimization neural
information-processing strategy be-cause wdb2t permeates all of physical
reality. since it's so, wdb2t constitutes an unerring 'map' of Truth that
our nervous systems innately follow... via simple TD E/I-minimization.

cheers, K. P. Collins
