Model Insights
- primary feature of mind elements is a modality
- all muscles are the same modality, all elements of specific sense (vision, audition, tactile, taste, vestibular) are the same modality
- modality is like a color in colored directed graph, where every edge and node has specific color
- modality of node is always equal to the modality of all output edges
- modality defines limited and specific modality field, e.g. body skin produces surface with final resolution, number of points is defined by density of tactile receptors
- one modality can be mapped to another modality, e.g. tactile modality from body skin can be easily mapped to pain modality from skin, or to body muscles via more discrete "body part"
- mind element
- can be too specific, e.g. part of motor cortex, corresponding to thumb finger of left hand
- can be too generic, e.g. extended amygdala complex, which includes elements located quite far from each other
- mind can be split into smallest elements, which have specific modality, and mapped to specific part of modality field
- mind elementary component
- is defined by unique combination of input modalities, e.g. VPL receives collects sensory information from CU,GR nuclei
- neighbor elements, located together, close to each other
- every mind component produces specific modality
- can be one of afferent modalities or new generated modality
- mind has no component, which can be replaced by direct connection from afferent source to efferent destination, but it is always one of:
- superposition of two or more major inputs to produce new value, can produce new modality (A + B -> C)
- place to affect one major input by secondary minor inputs, stay with major input modality (A* + B -> C*)
- send source to two or more distinct targets (A -> B,C)
