BEHAVIOR
Behavior, (n.)
Conduct, as determined, not by principle, but by breeding. The word seems to be somewhat loosely used in Dr. Jamrach Holobom's translation of the following lines from the "Dies Irae":
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuae viae.
Ne me perdas illa die.
Pray remember, sacred Savior,
Whose the thoughtless hand that gave your
Death-blow. Pardon such behavior.

Behavior
(1) any sequence of states of a system. (Ashby, Handout, 1961) (2) The behavior of a system is overt and thus manifested in input-output relationships, whereas state trajectories are covert and must either be inferred or must be obtained by "opening the black box". (Michael Arbib)
A succession of state s (Ashby) starting with the first and ending with the last one observed. The protocol of an observed system 's changes from one state to the next. Whether behavior is merely identified by its name described in terms of a transformation or function , or represented by a generative device, it must ultimately refer to or reproduce a sequence of states or a trajectory in space.

Behavior
Behavior or behaviour (see spelling differences) refers to the actions or reactions of an object or organism, usually in relation to the environment. Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary. In animals, behavior is controlled by the endocrine system and the nervous system. The complexity of the behavior of an organism is related to the complexity of its nervous system. Generally, organisms with complex nervous systems have a greater capacity to learn new responses and thus adjust their behavior. Human behavior (and that of other organisms and mechanisms) can be common, unusual, acceptable, or unacceptable. Humans evaluate the acceptability of behavior using social norms and regulate behavior by means of social control. In sociology, behavior is considered as having no meaning, being not directed at other people and thus is the most basic human action. Animal behavior is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, behavioral ecology and sociobiology.
