P.S. Probably a good example of the brain's "Multi-trigger" facility is to look
at icons for any subject - say, swimming or restaurants. There are many
different icons emphasizing different aspects of a given subject - yet we can
instantly understand almost all.

I'll skip the sex imagery, but your point is taken.
It appears that from moment to moment we match memory to stimuli to predict
what happens next.
So at any moment we receive stimuli. That's the trigger. Let's rewrite our
concept then:
Episode(stimuli, series)
Do we need anything else, of course there is a process which maps the stimuli
to the episodes.
And perhaps another process that is constantly forming episodes every moment...
What next...

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....
