Okay, which system decides which way the rat should turn when rat is navigating a maze? A cat doing actual path-finding on complex landscape? (which is surprisingly hard to do if you are coding a cat AI. Path finding, well, it is rather 'rational' in the sense that animals don't walk into the walls and the like) A human navigating a maze with a map to get food? A cat doing path finding avoiding a place where the cat had negative experience? ("conditioning").

It seems to me that those 3 'systems', if there are such 3 systems, aren't interacting in the way that article speaks of.
