That's how I felt when you mentioned as follows:
"One of the ideas about how this all works starts
with Aristotle, get massaged by Locke, refined by
Donald Hebb and forms the theory underlying research
in the field today. This is associationism or
connectionism."
"Thick long trunk line running down the spine
then sprouting off into smaller and smaller bundles
until individual axons and dendrites form a three
dimensional web of sensation across the surface of
your skin."
"We do demonstrate automatic patterns of
association."
Our fields of interest do involve specific
vocabularies and historical people that helped clarify
these fields, thanks.
