But that was not your premise, as I understand it. You wrote:

How many different behaviors (evidenced by output actions) can jBot have?

1) Left stop, right stop? 2) Left forward, right stop? 3) Left forward,
right forward? 4) ...

Well, on a completely practical note, can you count the output states
of jBot for us? I make it about 5. Now what I don't know what to do
with is the "output plus variable ratio" when it is dynamically
stearing. Is that a separate output? a separate output with a variable?
or shall we say each discernably different ratio is a different output?
But seriously, how many output states does jBot have? Or do you insist
it is infinite. A point of understanding I'm trying to make hangs in
the balance.

We only have 12 musical notes.

A note is a state. A state is static, a period without change.

With 12 notes, you can make 12 notes.

Maybe you can make another beat frequency note with the discord of two
similar notes, but I'm sure that's outside the relm of your
question/point.

So how many different melodies can be written?

One note long? 12.

Can you calculate it with some simple connection
matrix? Is it 12 factorial? Is there a limit?

Given the requirement of stasis, yes, there is a limit. It is only by
combining states that any melody of significance can begin to form.

I reject the premise that the variety of robot behaviors is limited
by the number of output resources, or can be determined by some
simple connection matrix, as referenced in my original query,

That is a true pity.

I was hoping if we could see behaviors as atomic states, and not
strings of atomic states, we could then have a very interesting
discussion of the communications content in stringing the behaviors
together. Music would be a wonderful analogical platform to consider
this line. Then we could separate the intelligence from the behaviors.

Now reconsider my first post. "It occurs to me that artificial
intelligence will be found in the decisions that switch behaviors
rather than the layers of behavior themselves."

If I rewrote this to say, "It occurs to me that the making of music
will be found in the decisions that switch notes according to a melody
rather, than the separation of notes into layers themselves."
