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 plausible neural mechanisms ("Darwin Machines") for sy

d B are characterized by relationships of the form Member C A, Member D B, etc. It is easy to see that, in the crisp case, where all MemberLinks and InheritanceLinks have strength 0 or 1, FOPLN reduces to standard propositional logic. Where inheritance is crisp but membership isn't, FOPLN reduces to higher-order

attractor getting propagated first, and then seeding the formation in the destination brain region of a close approximation of the whole attractor. Calvin's theory may be considered a genuinely glocal theory of memory. However, it also makes a large number of other specific commitments that are not par

is aspect of glocal memory that seems to exist in the neuroscience literature is a portion of William Calvin’s theory of the “cerebral code” [Cal96]. Calvin pro- poses a set of quite specific mechanisms by which knowledge may be represented in the brain using complexly-structured strange attractors, and b
