Since a system's determination of its own goals is a special case of knowledge in general, it is convenient to allocate a place for this kind of information in the knowledge component of an intelligent system.  Thus, the intellectual component of a knowledge-oriented system may be allowed to preserve its intentions, the images of currently active goals.  Often there is a difference between an actual state, as represented by the image developed in free space by a trusted process of observation, and an active goal, as represented by an image in the same space but cherished within the frame of intention or otherwise distinguished by an attentional affect.  This situation represents a problem to be solved by the system through actions that effect changes on the level of its primary dynamics.  The system chooses its trajectory in accord with reducing the difference between its active intentions and the observations that record actual conditions.
