Almost all the same stuff carries over:
→ They’re just operating in a different problem space. Instead of 3D space, they’re navigating anatomical morphospace.
→ We find memory and learning, active inference, mistaken perceptions, perceptual bistability, rewriteable goal-setpoints that are counterfactual representations.
Morphogenetic processes may be considered as dynamical system with dynamical structure
Development is a combination of interactions between genotype and phenotypes, and with the environment. As such, natural development can be considered a dynamical systems where the phenotype changes continuously due to growth of new cells and adaptation to external perturbations, i.e. environment. – src
