Abstract

The first volume introduced several characteristics of prerational intelligence and then provided illustrations of such mechanisms at lower levels of organization directly involved in sensory and motor function. This second volume is devoted to higher levels of organization related to general questions of structure, emergent behavior in groups, changes over time, and theoretical tools. Examples presented consider both biological and technical systems which illustrate one or more high-level features of intelligent behavior based on prerational mechanisms.
