To the extent I understand what you are saying, I don't think I agree with this 
at all.  We might draw a line to represent GO TO THE KITCHEN because it is a 
path through space which is trivially projected onto paper... I don't see how 
it implies anything like a line in the brain.

I do get the metaphor "line of action", but don't see any need for such a 
strangely literal representational implication.  In fact, I don't know what 
that would even mean...  So I don't "get an idea of how the brain must work" 
from your example.  This is what I was asking you for -- some coherent 
elaboration on what you are talking about in clear language either describing 
what the brain does using brain-relevant detail, or what a computer would do 
using computer-relevant detail.

What does it mean to represent something in the brain "in form of outlines"?
