Linas Vepstas: Belated Thank You for the reply. By "structure of behavior", I have in mind an application of the type of results found in a paper by Goguen, 'Realization is Universal', wherein he shows that behavior of machines is adjoint to minimal realization. While reading "Plans and the Structure of Behavior", by Miller and others, their description of Plans versus Images seems to describe a duality. And adjoints are sometimes as close as you can get to duals. My question then is really, Has anyone here chased this idea down, tried to apply it to motion planning, and shown that it must be a dead end? If not, I'm going to run with it.
Regards, Ray. P.S. Oops, sorry for top posting.
