The formatting I used is near identical to any you would find on an information database??? Which is pretty average I would assume.

In response to Cato, by subconscious I mean all autonomic branches of the nervous system. That is how subconscious is defined in our textbooks. Very testable, very reliably tested at some point. Sorry for using the lingo most likely associated with my university.

We are using the word subconscious the same way, I'm not sure why you gave a qualification.

You're going to have to be more specific. I don't know of any means by which we can extract 'intent' from measures of subconscious activity. I would love to understand how you think this is possible.

I shouldn't have to have any means of measuring intent. because if the action occurred the intent was obviously there. If he did the action it factually cannot be selfish, they either gained emotionally or physically. I may not be able to comphrehend what you're asking or even trying to convey, as it seems what your asking was covered in my original post. If you think I'm incorrect on the interpretation of your post, please, reiterate.

The other dolphins gain something either emotionally or physically from the transactions with "Stumpy". It's quite clear within the PDF you linked me, killer whales have very strict, close-knit family bonds. Therefore one example would be fulfilling the norm within their "society", but it could be for any number of reasons.
