adaptive autonomy  ^{[active draft]  #tbc}

consider:

1. Neurones as informational adaptation; or configuration (for physical adaptations)
2. The first neurone implemented a threshold condition for stimulus organism response ¹
3. Neurones as a homogeneous substrate to implement arbitrary conditional response

Adaptive autonomy refers to momentary neuronal evolutionary lifecycle: the idea that initially the material structure and value of neuronal conditionality was tied to generational evolution (just as physical adaptations) (see fixed autonomy)

Later, adaptive autonomy followed the decoupling of neuronal conditionality from generational evolutionary lifecycles (of physical animals), by learning.
