Grounded in perceptions yet transformed into amodal symbols
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 1999
Abstract
Amodality is not incompatible with being originally derived from sensory experience. The transformation of perceptual symbols into amodal abstractions could take place spontaneously through self-organizing processes such as autocatalysis. The organizational role played by “simulators” happens implicitly in a neural network, and quite possibly, in the brain as well.
