"intrinsic objectives" and "hard-wired programs" sound alike. Given that both must be designed.

[AbrahamParangi → swayvil]

Meaning with defined goals (intrinsic objectives) instead of defined operations (hard-wired programs).

[swayvil → AbrahamParangi]

A defined goal is just a defined operation with more steps.

It's inescapable.

[vannevar → AbrahamParangi]

Once you've committed to performing an operation it becomes a goal. As the old saying goes, it's turtles all the way down...

[swayvil → vannevar]

Which makes us living creatures look rather different from machines. Not to get religious about it.

[bsedlm → swayvil]

declarative vs procedural?

i.e. saying "what to" instead of saying "how to"
