fixed autonomy  ^{[active draft]  #tbc}

consider:

1. Neurones evolved 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

fixed autonomy refers to generational neuronal evolutionary lifecycle: the idea that the ‘first neurones’ did not exist within a sophisticated system for dynamic neuronal associations during an animals lifetime. and as such, any conditionality implemented by neurones, was inherited (instinct). accordingly, both the material structure of conditions, and the material value of conditions, were tied to the evolutionary lifecycle of the physical animal #rewrite

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