So so for the duration of that homeostatic process that says, What am I supposed to be reducing error against?
There is in fact a pattern.
That has a very important feature.
The feature is
I don't have to worry about like with any good homeostat, I don't have to worry about the hardware of how it does it.
If I understand the encoding of the set point, I just change the set point and then I take my hands off the wheel and the auto the system autonomously builds to that set point.
So for that, for that period of time, you I I I think you are looking at a a a map that isn't some some eternal, you know, static thing that sits there.
But it is the set point against which uh that that drives error minimization.
Now that pattern has to, has to uh has to emerge from from from prior states and then eventually disappears.
So it is not a permanent thing that just sits there, but it's sort of that center of the bow tie.
It's it's the previous events have given rise to at this moment, we're building the face later, we're going to build some some some other thing.
Um, it it gives you the
set point that guides the behavior and that set point is really convenient.
Um
It's convenient because if you try to stick with, I mean, the standard story of development that that that we were all taught is that.
It's a fee, it's an open loop uh complexity emergence process.
There's a bunch of local rules that this everything goes according to the local rules.
And eventually it's like voila, you know, emergence and then you get this complicated thing.
And with yes, that can happen.
And we know like a cellular automata and other things, you will always you can get complex things from simple rules.
