1) About spatial maps...
It seems to be the case that the brain uses spatial maps a lot, which

Similarly in Novamente we have a spatial map data structure which has an

Ben,
Good Post
I my mind the ability to map each of N things into a model of a space is a
very valuable thing. It lets us represent all of the N^2 spatial
relationships between those N things based on just N mappings. This is

Benjamin,
It's interesting that you mentioned this right now. My discussion with
Edward in parallel thread effectively led to this issue. Basically, it's
useful to be able to find regularities between arbitrary pair of concepts
(say, A and B) that system supports (as kind of domain-independence).
the notion that the
information in the human brain contained only 10^9 bits was bombastic
enough.

A few years (decades?) ago some researchers took PET scans of people who
were imagining a rectangle rotating (in 3-space, as I remember). They
naturally didn't get much detail, but what they got was consistent with
people applying a rotation algorithm within the visual cortex. This
