And as much as I want robots to evolve and coevolve harmonically, there is an elephant in that room which can be called "survival" or "autism": a system may evolve to the beautiful and complex equivalent of a dog, a dolphin, or a severely autistic child, and still remain "unusable". Several of my other postings can be interpreted as "how do you know you have a systemic balance". I have already mentioned the deaf-blind babies that apparently have to be force-fed in the early stages of their lives, but eventually some of them blossomed into intelligent people and even writers.
