In fact, to fully grasp the extent of current and future human-machine interaction and their socio-technological co-evolution, it is essential to understand that erobots are not just their perceived characters (e.g., Harmony's VR character or robotic-headed doll), but are composed of vast interconnected, multi-layered, and (increasingly adaptative) multi-agent systems that enable their (emerging) capabilities [161, 228] . Since a plethora of variables are implied in the study of human-machine erotic co-evolution, our model is not deterministic, but probabilistic: it rests upon the way humans and erobots are likely to influence each other's erotic cognition [217] through interactions (e.g., experiences of social and sexual rewards that motivate individuals to engage or not in erotic behaviours; [234, 288] ) and their potential impacts on each other's ecological niche-ranging from micro to macrosystems (e.g., technological to sociocultural environments; [42] ).	./cache/cord-276954-6m74kejh.txt	./txt/cord-276954-6m74kejh.txt
