In his 2004 exposition, Peter Sterling articulated allostasis through six principles: (1) organisms are designed for efficiency; (2) efficiency requires reciprocal trade-offs managed by the brain; (3) efficiency requires the brain to predict what will be needed; (4) prediction requires each sensor to adapt its sensitivity to the expected range of input; (5) prediction requires each effector to adapt its output to the expected range of demand; and (6) predictive regulation depends on behavior whose neural mechanisms also adapt.
