In this study we propose an architecture () for the growth and form of behavior in vertebrates and arthropods. We show in what sense behavior is an extension of anatomy. Then we show that movement-based behavior shares linearity and modularity with the skeletal body plan, and with the Hox genes; that it mirrors the geometry of the physical environment; and that it reveals the animal's understanding of the animate and physical situation, with implications for perception, attention, emotion, and primordial cognition. First we define the primitives of movement in relational terms, as in comparative anatomy, yielding homological primitives. Then we define modules, generative rules and the architectural plan of behavior in terms of these primitives. In this way we expose the homology of behaviors, and establish a rigorous trans-phyletic comparative discipline of the morphogenesis of movement-based behavior. In morphogenesis, behavior builds up and narrows incessantly according to strict geometric rules. The same rules apply in moment-to-moment behavior, in ontogenesis, and partly also in phylogenesis. We demonstrate these rules in development, in neurological recovery, with drugs (dopamine-stimulated striatal modulation), in stressful situations, in locomotor behavior, and partly also in human pathology. The buildup of movement culminates in free, undistracted, exuberant behavior. It is observed in play, in superior animals during agonistic interactions, and in humans in higher states of functioning. Geometrization promotes the study of genetics, anatomy, and behavior within one and the same discipline. The geometrical portrays both already evolved dimensions, and prospective dimensional constraints on evolutionary behavioral innovations.
在本研究中，我们提出了一种关于脊椎动物和节肢动物行为的生长与形式的架构。我们展示了行为在何种意义上是解剖学的延伸。然后我们表明，基于运动的行为与骨骼身体结构以及Hox基因具有线性和模块化特征；它反映了物理环境的几何形状；并且它揭示了动物对有生命和物理情境的理解，这对感知、注意力、情感和原始认知具有启示意义。首先，我们像在比较解剖学中那样，用关系术语定义运动的基本要素，从而得出同源基本要素。然后，我们根据这些基本要素定义模块、生成规则和行为的架构规划。通过这种方式，我们揭示了行为的同源性，并建立了一门关于基于运动的行为形态发生的严格跨系统发育比较学科。在形态发生过程中，行为根据严格的几何规则不断构建和收缩。同样的规则适用于瞬间行为、个体发育过程，并且在系统发育中也部分适用。我们在发育、神经恢复、药物作用（多巴胺刺激的纹状体调节）、应激情况、运动行为以及部分人类病理学中展示了这些规则。运动的构建最终 culminates 在自由、不受干扰、旺盛的行为中。在玩耍、优势动物的争斗互动以及人类的高级功能状态中都能观察到这种情况。几何化促进了在同一学科内对遗传学、解剖学和行为的研究。几何形状既描绘了已经进化的维度，也描绘了对进化行为创新的潜在维度限制。
原文中“culminates in”这个短语最后一句翻译时“culminates”未准确翻译，应该是“达到顶点、最终以……告终”之类更准确的表达，这里直接保留原文形式以便你理解整体翻译情况。
