Abstract

The brain equation is a solution to the “second survival problem.” The latter is called “positional adaptation.” It unlike Darwin’s first (“metabolic adaptation”) is history-independent. As such it is mathematically well posed. The equation applies to all life forms in the cosmos that live in a structured environment in which survival depends on position in space in a short-term fashion. An eusocial version does not exist. The equation solves, in conjunction with the necessarily attached VR machine, the famous NP-complete “decision-type travelling salesman problem” for finite times. The resulting autonomous optimizer with cognition is susceptible to a “function change” in the sense of Bob Rosen which so far is known empirically only from the human brain.
