3-MINUTE BRAINSTORM Neural Darwinism draws a key distinction between ‘instruction’ and ‘selection’. Instructionist systems, like standard computers, rely on programs and algorithms, and they suppress variability and noise. Selectionist systems depend on large amounts of variation and involve the selection of specific states from very large repertoires. So the theory provides a sharp contrast to computer models of brain and mind, highlighting – as Darwin had beforehand – that variation is essential to biological function.
