ABILITY TO PREDICT. “One way of ensuring long-term survival is to use information about the current environment to predict possible future environments and generate responses that maximize the chance of survival and reproduction. This process is a computation, in which the inputs are environmental measurements, the outputs are signals that modulate behaviour, and the rules generate the outputs from the environmental inputs.For example, signals from the environment entrain circadian biological clocks to produce responses to predicted fluctuations in light intensity and temperature.”
