Learning by internal repetition of one-time events. I is the input. D is the Darwinian brain which emits judgments on the desirability of the input and sets two switches accordingly (through the broken arrows). On the left: normal operation, with the Darwinian brain quiescent. The realistic brain R feeds the predictor P and also an open chain of two delay elements d. On the right: the Darwinian brain D signals emotional input. The two switches are thrown to the right, the predictor is no longer fed by the realistic brain but receives the contents of the two delay elements d to which in turn it gives output. The information preceding the emotion reverberates through the predictor and the delay elements until the Darwinian brain calms down again and sets the switches to the normal position.
