Autonomy, abduction, adaptation

The most important question that autonomous systems have to answer is how to remain viable in various and changing environments. This question is thus the same as how emerges the semiotic capacity to guess viable solutions, that is abduction. The aim of this paper is to sketch a theory both of sensorimotor autonomy and of the emergence of abductive capacities in the cases of reactive, hedonistic and eductive systems. Such emergence has to be examined in the larger context of co-evolutionary process between autonomous systems.<
