You cannot have a single homogeneous net that does so many things at
once. Besides, some of these things must be done in stages. IOW, you
must start with signal separation (one principle) and then do signal
fusion (another principle). Only then can you do sequence formation
and motor control. You cannot do these things in the same network. You
must have multiple subnetworks feeding signals to one another. On top
of that, you must do concept formation, conflict detection, motor
coordination, reinforement learning, etc... There is a reason that the
brain has multiple integrated cell assemblies each with its own
function and principle. In the brain, bi-directional signal pathways
between subnetworks are the norm, not the exception.

You come out sounding like the nodes in your net can do all these
things simultaneously. This is complete crap, Curt. You're dreaming
and you're only fooling yourself.
