14. Science / C. Induction / 1. Induction

7369	Brains are essentially anticipation machines [Dennett]
	Full Idea: All brains are, in essence, anticipation machines.
	From: Daniel C. Dennett (Consciousness Explained [1991], 7.2)
	A reaction: This would necessarily, I take it, make them induction machines. So brains will only evolve in a world where induction is possible, which is one where there a lot of immediately apprehensible regularities.
