  • system of dispositional states

  • capable of complex,

    • spatially and temporally projective,

    • directed

    • regulative

    • adjustments and control (p. 111ff).

  • Martin holds that the same basic functions and properties (

    • positive and negative feedback,

    • feedforward,

    • material of use,

    • correlativity of manifestation and disposition base,

    • representation and

    • content)
