There is almost always a goal

A goal needs to be able to *start* or *modify* behavior.

The spatial representation is a concatenation of senses and intended movement

At some level that combination needs to be represented uniquely. Aka few enough possibilities to represent them all.

When a goal is achieved the behavior that led to it needs to be reinforced.

The answer is to allow cells that are both *predicted* and *desired* to become
active. Not just put into a predictive state.

Let me illustrate.

Let's say you have a world with three rooms in a row with letter labels:

ABC

In this world you have a creature that can go Left, go Right, or Stay where it

router won't render sub-pages
 
Long description:
 
My backbone app wouldn't render any pages that were not at the root of the

So you're trying to build a nice slide-in menu. Something that shows up from the bottom of your app when a user clicks a menu button. Here are a collection of things I wish I had known a few hours ago.

You can't do this with just CSS (or you shouldn't)

You need to have a bit of JavaScript to change a class on the element you're trying to animate.

You need a position: relative parent, a regular child div, and a position: absolute child with left and bottom set.

If you don't have a position: relative parent, your absolutely positioned div (the one you want to slide on screen) may not
