Jerry; either you have some really unique definitions of anticipation or you are very much at odds with Robert Rosen's work. Come to think of it, you have a really unique definition of "self-movable object" too. I would say that automobiles are "human-movable objects" but they don't do anything by themselves. They are designed for interaction. Humans are the anticipatory system in the equation. Cars are simple systems.
