View source for Q5: Learning-before-adaptation priority

You argue that '''learning (CS correction) must precede adaptation (CA correction)''' because:

* learning is low-risk, localized  
* adaptation is high-risk, systemic  
* AA requires isolating the source of failure

Here is the precise question:

'''Is this priority absolute, or conditional?'''

That is:

* Are there situations where '''CA must change before CS''',  
:   even though this violates the usual diagnostic order?  
* Or is “learning before adaptation” a '''hard rule''' in RF?

One sentence is enough.

===== evolutionary, adaptation appears first =====

Good — that pins it down.

So, in RF terms:

* '''Evolutionarily''', '''adaptation (A)''' appears before '''learning (S)'''  
:   — blind structural change precedes knowledge.  
* '''Ontogenetically / consciously''', once AA exists,  
:   '''learning-before-adaptation''' becomes the '''accountable strategy'''.  
* The priority rule is therefore '''conditional''', not absolute:  
** pre-conscious systems adapt first  
** conscious rozums learn first  
* RF is '''layered in time''', not flat.

That resolves Question 5 cleanly.
