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"

similar transient assemblies when highly activated. 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

as control shifts between competing brain regions, again, based on high-level "cognitive demand." 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

uctionRule. Its input must look like X_Link A B X_Link B C And its output then looks like X_Link A C Here, X_Link may be either InheritanceLink, SubsetLink, ImplicationLink or Extension- allmplicationLink. A PLN formula goes along with a PLN rule, and tells the uncertain truth value of the output, base
