As soon as the carrier of information about the future of our being inside the sperm escaped from our father and rushed to the mother’s egg, there was already movement at the basis of our origin.

What came first – analysis or action? The answer is clear: action. We will not be able to analyze whether thinking can be born from movement. To do this, it will be necessary to conduct an experiment on a planetary scale, and for this we do not have enough patience or strength. Therefore, I will answer without hesitation – most likely, it can, because mechanical machines implement quite complex algorithms and are computable (for example, a similarity to a mechanical Turing machine). However, how this could happen in nature is not known and remains to be studied or reproduced. It is not known how living nature could arise from nonliving nature, but action was somewhere at the basis of this emergence.

As for a person, he does not have the ability to fully think from birth, and develops this ability as he grows up and with the study of the world. Thus, at birth, children have five abilities:

• Ability to move,
• Ability to perceive information from the outside world,
• Reflexes,
• Instincts,
• Ability to develop.

Gradually, development forms thinking that replaces the instincts laid down before birth. Man has succeeded in this, but animals have not, and instincts play a crucial role in their behavior throughout their lives.

Honestly, it would be correct to exclude reflexes from this list, because they are a connection between the perception of information from the external world and a direct response to a certain type of stimulation in the form of movement.

These four things, without the ability to develop, can help implement a pre-set program: simple or complex. By and large, modern computer and robotic systems are approximately at this level or one step behind it. They know how to react to external influences exactly as much as was laid down by the program. However, programs lack the ability to evolve.

It turns out that modern technologies, while moving forward in their diversity in terms of programming languages (to date, more than 2000 programming languages have been created), have generally greatly slowed down the speed of progress. In the abundance of methods and approaches to data structuring, at least the last 10 years have been spent understanding and improving what has already been created. Programming logic remains the same as it was invented by our fathers, and maybe even grandfathers. And now seems like a good time to really move forward.

Let’s look step by step at how this happens: how intelligent logic can be born from mechanical movements, and how it can be projected onto hardware and software systems.

Action in the form of an impulse or representation is what we mainly expect from software systems, and even more so from humans. The collection, accumulation and interpretation of data are important, and analysis within the system is also important, but movement expresses a complete system.

In a person, actions characterize him. We can read data from a hard drive, but we can’t get into someone else’s head. Therefore, movement and representation (verbal action, action in the form of a statement in natural language) are the only things that can tell us that a person is a full-fledged person.
