Yet somehow our conscious experience does seem to create representations, and we can re-access (regenerate?) them.<BR/> <BR/>I'd give Mark credit for 'getting' this (his interactive potentials could map to activation states) if he hadn't explicitly talked about representations and truth value ;). And I have no idea what he's on about with nugatory (and I had to look it up) discussions. I thought the discussion, while rigorous, to be intellectually honest and without personal attack.<BR/><BR/>Seldom do I get this fun level of discussion going (though I'm out of practice), and it's hard on paper instead of over a lunch table (or, better yet, a beer ;).Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822235162664957878noreply@blogger.com
