Abstract

ABSTRACT I summarize my recent theorizing on orientation and navigation across life. Organisms use navigational servomechanisms working with oscillators to get to goals. Navigational servomechanisms track errors from the best direction of travel and initiate action to correct the error. They work with endogenously generated action patterns, oscillations produced by oscillators, to adjust the course of travel. The theme applies to all scales of life from micrometers to thousands of kilometers. Servomechanisms and oscillators also characterize some other domains of cognition.
