Description
Summary:We would submit that the concept of optimal control system (OCS) may serve as just such a basis, its thesis being that the OCS may be considered a universal structuro-functional element of the nervous system. We have founded our arguments on the cognitive apparatus of the mathematical theory of systems and the theory of optimum control. We are not postulating a hierarchical pattern of structuro-function organization of complex OCS (it is a straightforward consequence of the optimum control system) and, for this reason, the hierarchical structure of the OCS reflects that of a complex control agent, the built-in model for which is contained in the OCS.
