Document Summary
You pick a flower w/out comparing it to anything. You don"t actively compare the flower to your imagination of the color red to pick the flower; you just do. It"s not clear that thinking of trees do not have objective reality. The apparent order of language does not reflect the order of thought processes in the brain- grammar doesn"t reflect thought processes. Still, there is order in this chaos. Any system that is able to cope with human verbal behavior must employ structured transformable representations. Nothing in the brain looks / behaves like a computer. Computers have characteristics / patterns of breaking down data input. Computers have characteristics / patterns of learning (different from humans in the fact that humans learn everything in a different way but computers rely on one method) Not all dendrites are strong - their signals are weighted to equalize. The mcculloch pitts model of the neuron. Set of weighted inputs sum simple question output.
