<br/><br/>Ecorithms -- Prediction and adaptation -- The computable: not everything that can be defined can be computed -- Mechanistic explanations of nature: what might we look for? -- The learnable: how can one draw general lessons from particular experiences? -- The evolvable: how can complex mechanisms evolve from simpler ones? -- The deducible: how can one reason with imprecise concepts? -- Humans as ecorithms -- Machines as ecorithms: why is artificial intelligence difficult to achieve? -- Questions. 
<br/><br/> Provides a model of how effective behavior can be learned even in a world as complex as our own, shedding new light on human nature.
