A fast and accurate computational scheme for simulating nonlinear dynamic systems is presented. The scheme assumes that the system can be represented by a combination of components of only two different types: first-order low-pass filters and static nonlinearities. The parameters of these filters and nonlinearities may depend on system variables, and the topology of the system may be complex, including feedback. Several examples taken from neuroscience are given: phototransduction, photopigment bleaching, and spike generation according to the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. The scheme uses two slightly different forms of autoregressive filters, with an implicit delay of zero for feedforward control and an implicit delay of half a sample distance for feedback control. On a fairly complex model of the macaque retinal horizontal cell, it computes, for a given level of accuracy, one to two orders of magnitude faster than the fourth-order Runge-Kutta. The computational scheme has minimal memory requirements and is also suited for computation on a stream processor, such as a graphical processing unit.

Summary: The text constructs a specific system that demonstrates the feasibility of strong emergence, generating a novel and autonomous cause through targeted and cyclical use of randomness, and relying on sustained evolution through natural selection.

Constructing a Naturalistic Theory of Intentionality

J. H. van Hateren

Summary: The theory proposed a naturalistic theory of intentionality, different from previous evolutionary and tracking theories. It suggests that intentionality is constructed through a series of evolvable refinements and originates from an internal process that estimates an organism's fitness. Intentional components can point to mistaken or non-existing entities, and adding a means of communication allows pointing to fully abstract entities.
