Abstract: Abstract Forget about computers, the Internet, and automated systems for a while and let’s talk about behaviors—human behaviors first. When we hear a loud, unfamiliar squealing sound, we turn our heads; when a person enters our office, we look up. We may blush while we listen to a very naughty story and turn pale at a horror one. We all respond in one way or another to external events that affect us. We also react to internal events, such as thoughts and memories. These responses are manifestations of our being. Each person is different; no two people are alike.
