to Hebbian learning between assemblies has been pursued by Nobelist Gerald Edelman in his theory of neuronal group selection, or "Neural Darwinism." Edelman won a Nobel Prize for his work in immunology, which, like most modern immunology, was based on C. MacFarlane Burnet's theory of "clonal selection"

Once one has committed oneself to looking at such groups, the next step is to ask how these groups are organized, which leads to Edelman’s concept of “maps.” A “map,” in Edelman’s terminology, is a connected set of groups with the property that when one of the inter-group connections

The importance of repeated, slightly varied copies of the same subnetwork has been emphasized by Edelman [Ede93] among other neural theorists. 1 The larger an ensemble is, she suggests, the more vivid it is as a conscious experience; an hypothesis that
