0,000 neurons each. 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 connection

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"

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

Deacon's intuition is similar to the one that led Edelman to propose Neural Darwinism tEcle931, and Calvin and Bickerton IC13001 to pose the notion of mind as a "Darwin Machine". The latter have given plau

breathe, therefore people breathe." Second: • "'Variable fulfillment query"'. Given a target Link (Atoms may be Nodes or Links) with one or more VariableAtoms among its targets, figure out what Atoms may be put in place of these VariableAtoms, so as to give the target Link a high strength* confidence (i.e.
