                                      turns out to be very hard and brittle due to the frame problem and the need
                                      for a closed world assumption.
                                        Fig. I.4 shows how the Hierarchical Paradigm can be thought of as a tran-
                                      sitive, or Z-like, flow of events through the primitives given in Fig. I.4. Un-
                                      fortunately, the flow of events ignored biological evidence that sensed infor-
                                      mation can be directly coupled to an action, which is why the sensed infor-
                                      mation input is blacked out.
