P546b
The relatively simple instincts are capable of their complex combinations. The consolidation (strengthening) of these combinations occurs with each successful action. This phenomenon is of the same nature as the fixation of the reflex. (3. 10. 3. ) 546 b
A combination of instincts is like any complex algorithm needs to consist of only a dozen types of simple rules.
But the rules of receptors are not adapted to such schemes. Otherwise, they will simply interfere with each other. Therefore, the receptor is only responsible for itself. But besides the rules of receptors, there are also rules for neurons that are not receptors. There are many more such rules (about twenty times) than there are receptor rules. And once the rules of neurons tried such a scheme and made up the rules of the ganglia of the subconscious. The laws of evolution relieve us of all assumptions, and directly indicate that there was and could not have been another evolutionary path for the emergence of the first ganglionic programs of life.
P546c. The evolutionary principle of the formation of active rules of life
The first programs of vital activity once arose as a result of the complication of the activity of the rules of neurons. (3. 10. 3. ) 546 c
And the rules of reception, as they were, remain, because without reception the animal's organism is not capable of existence. But the programs that have arisen from the rules of receptors and the rules of other neurons have formed completely new mechanisms that have the ability to recognize stimuli. This is true not only for the programs of the subconscious, but also for the first programs of the Plant Soul and the Moving Soul, since they arose historically before the subconscious.
The presence of programs of individually variable behavior (skills) in a frog, as well as in a bee, is quite insignificant. And its behavior is almost entirely based on instincts (hereditary programs) However, the frog still has some skills. They are otherwise, so where do the instincts come from? After all, any new instinct of any animal is always and necessarily there is some stable skill of its ancestors, transmitted in a genetic way. This is the law.
Moreover, any new instinct can be strengthened from generation to generation as a result of successful and hard work. And maybe vice versa. It will weaken in proportion to its small demand. This applies equally to any rule and to any body. This applies equally to any mental and physical organ.
It seems that we have discovered a law of nature, equal in value to the law of natural selection, but opposite to it in action. And it happened quite by accident.
P547. Evolutionary Law of Strengthening
The more intensely an organ or its element works, the more necessary it becomes from generation to generation of a species. And vice versa.

But in order for a skill to become sustainable, it must work successfully and hard. Only strong skills are converted into instincts.
P548. The Law of Amplification
The more intensely an organ or its element works, the more necessary it becomes during the life of an individual. And vice versa. (3. 10. 3. ) 548
This statement is perfectly consistent with the facts and correctly explains the formation of sustainable skills. And not just a skill. Since a person in the process of training strengthens any muscle.
The actions of the Law of Strengthening are universal in nature
Let's turn to the results of evolution. That is why frogs and fish, despite the relatively weak perfection of their primitive mental organs, still successfully survived under conditions of strict natural selection? It turns out that for insects and lower vertebrates this level of perfection of activity in the environment is quite enough to successfully pass natural selection. Since all losses from natural selection are completely covered by reproduction. Excessive reproduction is characteristic not only of insects, but also of lower vertebrates. However, already for more advanced animal species, when reproduction is limited to only a few units, much greater perfection of the " software" of behavior is required.
P549
If higher animals overcome natural selection by complicating the variable component of their adaptive activity. Due to the variety and complexity of their skills. The lower ones, for example, frogs or bees, overcome natural selection mainly due to the diversity of their instincts and the high number of their offspring. (3. 10. 3. ) 549

SUBCONSCIOUSNESS OF THE HIGHER SPINE
1. Behavior. If we compare the activity of the subconscious mind of a frog and a dog, then in a dog this activity is much more complex and perfect. Of course, the dog has more perfect " software" of the subconscious, which allows it, along with instinctive behavior, to widely carry out forms ofindividually changeable behavior. The first type of behavior is determined byinstincts. Individually variable behavior, on the other hand, is provided byskills that have arisen from experience layered on instincts.
And not only from their own experience, but also from someone else's, since dogs are capable of imitation, which is a way of transferring experience.
To consolidate any experience and its transition into a sustainable skill, direct experience is required. Without appropriate direct experience, there can be no reinforcement of any skill. The Law of Amplification is mandatory here.
