Summary: A new idea. Suppose the cortex is a 'representation' of the environment, i.e. corresponding
to events in the periphery (stimuli, reactions) there are events in the cortex. Nothing
new in this idea. But suppose that the cortex is more 'sensitive', so that if the
periphery is being driven out of its range of stability the corresponding variable
in the cortex will break first, i.e. get outside its range of stability, and thus switch to another portion of the
field (817), and change partially to another organisation. |
