Connected with this specific problem, there is also another variant that a
parallel model to the main model of walking was created. This parallel model
predicted that the stone will slip and built a saving model outside the line
of the PSM. However the theory predicts only two lines: one of the PSM and one
of the ZAM which controls the global activity. Possibly, the ZM could let the
main ZAM act, and build in parallel other ZAMs models for new situations,
which would be activated in special cases. This type of behaviour is not
specifically excluded by the theory, but in reality it is not met sufficiently
clearly, so that it can be sustained. Building a parallel model is an easy
operation, but the question is, how does the main ZM know what other ZAM to
activate, when the active ZAM does not correspond anymore. The implementation
of this facility could be done if there were a 'pipeline' built by the main
ZM, so that a specific order of activation of parallel ZAMs existed in special
cases. But this would imply the existence of a new hardware. As I already
said, the existence of this facility (pipeline of ZAMs) cannot be sustained
yet, due to insufficient data, but could be a line of further hardware
development of the brain.
The issue of walking, jumping and running is inimaginably complicated and I do
not believe that in predictible future, robots will come close to the
performance of a chicken a few days old, running on a difficult terrain.
Climbing trees is an even more complicated activity, than walking and jumping.
The basic information is related to the lack of precise information about the
resistance of the branches. The models are able to make an evaluation of the
resistance of each branch, but the model will have enough simulations in which
the branch will break. ZM will need to take this into account, based on
various local models, in order to build a good strategy (the best ZAM
reactualised very often). In this case, the stability in the tree will be
given by the capacity of building alternative models, which could be
activated, if a branch broke. The brain effort needed to ensure the stability
of the person in a tree is huge. Not all brains have this capacity. Moreover
the ZM should also build a 'saving' model, in which there should be at least
three points of support at any moment, in the ideea that if at least two will
behave as in the simulation, the system will have an acceptable level of
stability.
Walking on a difficult terrain, jumping and the stability in tree climbing are
tests, which can show global performance of humans in the domain of image
models. In animals these functions can be even more efficient.
