After interaction with other internal processes, some actions are done by actuator unit, such as chemical release, electricity, and movements.Simplest form of processes connecting input and output are reflexes. They contain only a few neural network layers.As arms race going on, organisms develop more complex internal process with more layers of neural network system. They start to show instinct.

Instinctive behaviors are inherited genetically. In computer world, it is like Read Only Memory. It is crucial to have basic survival instincts according to organisms' ways of life. But some environmental changes happen frequently, which need some behavioral adjustment accordingly. It becomes impractical to store all possible required behaviors as instincts as organisms getting more complex.

Are you talking to yourself? Interesting idea though I must admit.

In this thread I'd like to discuss if there is a goal or desired condition which is applicable for any organisms who have adequate time to evolve or develop until they are basically independent from condition of their natural environments.
Back to your opening post, the goals would be to evolve even further but keeping in touch with their natural environment and the reality that surrounds them. For to seek knowledge is to evolve, to seek no-thing is nothingness.
This neural information storage provided a new battlefield for competition of replicating information. Since it controls behavior of organisms, competition among organisms became its proxy war.
Some parents' features are not developed yet in the newborns.Hence it would be beneficial for some parents to take care of their young because it can improve the survival chances of the organism's structure.
This means that they will have siblings who grow together, which creates emotional bonds among them.
Those things demand larger memory capacity, faster information process, and ability to express individual's intentions, such as by facial expression and vocalization.
More complex interactions among group members requires more complex expression, hence promoting the creation of language. Resource management requires concept of number and quantity.Group members also need to resolve conflicts among them, thus pushing them to create social rules and basic morality.

So even if the original copy does break down, some of its duplicates might survive.

Let's take a chess game for an example. The priorities, in my opinion (sorted from highest) :1. Checkmate the opponent's king.2. Prevent checkmate on own king.3. Preserve time and energy.Try to get #1. If it's impossible, try to get #2 (draw). If it's also impossible, try to get #3 by resigning.
In my other thread i've argued that consciousness is a continuum ranged from 0 to infinity, whith rocks and Laplace's demon representing those lower and upper limits. Everything else lies in between, including viruses, plants and animals which occur naturally, as well as artificial ones like single loop process controllers, computer viruses, deep blue, alpha zero.
In mathematics, a negative number is a real number that is less than zero. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left. If positive represents above sea level, then negative represents below sea level. If positive represents a deposit, negative represents a withdrawal. They are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency. A debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset, a decrease in some quantity may be thought of as a negative increase. If a quantity may have either of two opposite senses, then one may choose to distinguish between those senses—perhaps arbitrarily—as positive and negative. Negative numbers are used to describe values on a scale that goes below zero, such as the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales for temperature. The laws of arithmetic for negative numbers ensure that the common sense idea of an opposite is reflected in arithmetic. For example, −(−3) = 3 because the opposite of an opposite is the original value.
Multicellularity allows an organism to exceed the size limits normally imposed by diffusion: single cells with increased size have a decreased surface-to-volume ratio and have difficulty absorbing sufficient nutrients and transporting them throughout the cell. Multicellular organisms thus have the competitive advantages of an increase in size without its limitations. They can have longer lifespans as they can continue living when individual cells die. Multicellularity also permits increasing complexity by allowing differentiation of cell types within one organism.
