"We know nothing about a body until we know what it can do."

Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, 257

A creature...

A creature must cope appropriately and in a timely fashion with changes in its dynamic environment.
A creature should be robust with respect to its environment. . . .
A creature should be able to maintain multiple goals
A creature should do something in the world; it should have some purpose in being.
(Brooks 1991, p.143)

Woody Allen

Ninety percent of life is just being there.
