Even controlling the temperature of your environment (hot/cold) is a logical decision. Too cold can kill or reduce your motor efficiency, too hot can kill or cause illness through excessive dehydration. Look at Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. Consider which of those are emotion dependent and which aren't. | |

If they are both heads up or tails up, it emits a 1, else it emits a 0. Consider a single case where the machine emits a 0. The result is totally random, but it would still be illogical to say "i received a 0, so both coins were probably heads." | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 19:40 | comment | added | user10469 | But what could be logical and illogical at all? When everything is made out of random and hence purposeless? I am still not able to think. Could you elaborate, or maybe give an example. Else is fine! It seems like i had to distinguish between "biological impulses" from emotions. | |
