Soft: low risk credit scoring. Mimicry. The CON system gradually widens the windows. The goal is to attract/select as many partners as possible. Bio: brain windows for feeding. Soft: help desk for marketing. Context Switching. Sudden change in CON behaviour, based on the past history, recalled experience and on environmental conditions. Bio: brain windows after mating. Soft: EDI-switch for adaptive purchasing. Aggression. One subsystem tends to take control of the whole CON system. Bio: time coding in insect chirping. Soft: competition networks. Alternation. Two [or several] subsystems are taking control of the CON system in alternation. Bio: time coding in insects; leader/follower chirping. Soft: travelling salesman, genetic programming. Solo. One subsystem is in control of the whole CON system. Bio: time coding in insects; leader chirping. Soft:  inner takes all. Transmitting. Exchange of conscious messages among subsystems. Bio: quantal transmitter release on neural terminals. Soft: conscious message packages.
