PM:Now we just need to know, given a multi-modal stimulus stream, when the
triggers occur
Again a quick thought, but the remarkable thing about the brain is that it can
reconstruct a sequence - in principle - from almost any point.
Think of an image of two people's clothes on the floor by a bed, or two people
lying in bed after sex ... no problems to construct what comes after, or what
went before.
This works spatially too - classically via metonymy. Shoes under a curtain
immediately denote someone standing behind it.
The brain remembers sequences temporal and spatial v. well. Play any tune at
random on my ipod and at the end I can't help remembering what comes next.
Ditto an urge - a rumbling tummy - can immediately prompt the subsequent
solution - say you at the fridge scoffing.
So virtually anything can be a temporal or spatial trigger.,I guess

Read the cliff notes:
So, thus far we have an episode as follows:
Episode(trigger, series)
where trigger is a core memory that caused the episode, and series is a
subsequent action sequence.
Now we just need to know, given a multi-modal stimulus stream, when the
triggers occur.
Interesting....

Read Ghost in the Machine - pre-computational, but still v. good and v. useful
- you can find a summary somewhere of the main points.

I like it so far...
(What is pace Koestler?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An episode can be any action or sequence of actions - how I lifted a cup, how I
had "tea" - a whole set of drinks and dishes, how I walked to the shops.
But you have to start with "your" actions, sequences of actions - and it is
only by laying down memories of these that you can make the eventual jump to
understanding the actions (and episodes) of others.
Work out, pace Koestler, what simple instruction can "trigger" a whole sequence
of moves/actions - and that instruction can be the core memory from which the
attached/consequent series of moves can be reconstructed when needed via
reflective memory.
Just a quick thought.
