Skills

Skills are developmental objects? which contain groups of similar, complementary abilities. They inhere in the components of animated objects. They serve as both an organizational construct to aid in categorizing and addressing large numbers of related abilities, but also to reflect the Character or other Animated Object's increasing overall proficiency in a given discipline. Because skills develop proportionally to the abilities which they contain (which are also developmental objects), related abilities will benefit from each other's development to a small degree.

Learning

<blockquote><i>Learning is not a process of accumulation of representations of the environment; it is a continuous process of transformation of behavior through continuous change in the capacity of the nervous system to synthesize it. Recall does not depend on the indefinite retention of a structural invariant that represents an entity (an idea, image, or symbol), but on the functional ability of the system to create, when certain recurrent conditions are given, a behavior that satisfies the recurrent demands or that the observer would class as a re-enacting of a previous one.</i> — Humberto Maturana, Biology of Cognition
