在这篇论文中，我试图确定一些结构特征，这些特征是生物体的“心理”环境的典型特征。我们已经看到，在具有这些特征的环境中，有机体只需要非常简单的感知和选择机制来满足它的几种需要，并确保它在长时间内生存的高概率。特别是，不需要为生物体假设“效用函数”，也不需要任何复杂的程序来计算不同需求之间的边际替代率。".
"In this paper I have attempted to identify some of the structural characteristics that are typical of the "psychological" environments of organisms. We have seen that an organism in an environment with these characteristics requires only very simple perceptual and choice mechanisms to satisfy its several needs and to assure a high probability of its survival over extended periods of time. In particular, no "utility function" needs to be postulated for the organism, nor does it require any elaborate procedure for calculating marginal rates of substitution among different wants.".
