Individual connections in the CLA (and in the brain) are uni-directional
*not* bi-directional.  In the CLA, if A is regularly followed by B,
directional connections will form originating from the cells representing A
and going to the cells representing B.

When A occurs, B will be predicted but not vice-versa. Similarly, when B
occurs, both C and D will be predicted. In your example, if C or D occurs,
nothing will be predicted.
