Dear FIS colleagues,
Thanks to Bob for all his mindful contents. Given the many ideas to comment
in his draft, I will briefly refer to a couple of them just at the
beginning of the paper. First, on "concepts" as the basic stuff of human
language-communication. And second, on the notion of "information overload".
About the former, if one is interested on the "motor" side of the
action-perception cycle that seemingly organizes the neurodynamics of
vertebrate brains, there might be alternative approaches to "concepts".
Alain Berthoz general vision, and more concretely, J. Fuster who made a few
years ago (2003) the proposal of "cognits", might deserve be entered into
the discussion... one of the central points is that nowadays we are missing
a good, fertile synthesis around the enormous experimental accumulation in
neuroscience last decades (as claimed by Edelman, Arbib, etc.). Anyhow, I
leave here, as this theme probably will reappear in the session next September.
The "information overload" theme (in the evolution of social modes of
communication), is really intriguing. Should we take it, say, in its prima
facie? I am inclined to put it into question, at least to have an excuse
and try to unturn that pretty stone...
best regards
Pedro
Thanks to Stan for the elegant homage to the Dark Goddess!
