The spatial configuration of environments and climate change also will affect where evolutionary responses might dominate.
The probability of each of the four possible configurations of environments for mother, father, and offspring (obtained through simulations) is multiplied by the corresponding fitness of the offspring under each strategy of transmission of fitness.
Supporters of the autonomy thesis have suggested that the interrelated capacities to represent the spatial configuration of the environment and to represent one's own location within the environment need not depend on the possession of a primitive first-person concept.
Even when participants were misled about the purpose of the study, by being told to focus on architectural and natural features of the environment, they performed just as well as participants who knew they would be tested on the spatial configuration of the environment and were told to pay attention to it.
obtained by plugging the actual configuration of the environment into the wave function of the larger system.
The geometrical configuration of the environment resembled a room of an average size, such as larger kitchen.
Animals demonstrate their ability to represent a geometric configuration of their environment and to use this information for spatial decisions in their response space in many situations.
In this kind of technique, the shortest path is planned based on the current configuration of the environment, and, as soon as new obstacles are detected, new paths must be planned.
The requirement of concept possession comes in because these capacities essentially involve an ability to represent both the spatial configuration of the environment and one's own changing position within that environment and, he suggests, this would be impossible for a creature lacking a rudimentary concept of the first-person.
In particular, the paper analyses the optimal configuration of built environment area, PV area, wind turbines number and relative occupation area, battery and water harvester storage capacities, as a function of electricity and water prices.
Due to such a harsh reshaping process, an new issue of complexity has increasingly emerged to show the importance of hidden, uncommon, fuzzy linkages among environmental entities and processes toward the configuration of the environment as an actual system (Sawyer 2005; Bossomaier and Green 2000).
