To take Hopi's lab's work as ex: len(burrow) could be outcome of a rewarding process or a "while loop." But in either case, need to specify why burrowing only kicks in at certain places, times, types of dirt, etc.; this seems more naturally a program than a set of loss fns.

The “program” argument has been used since the beginning of ethology to describe species typical behaviors, just look at all the debate surrounding imprinting but how these debates largely glossed over developmental processes, Gottlieb and Bateson largely settled these arguments.
