repeating old stuff
not just that mubarak just went on holiday to sinai (i maintain my expectations on the subject). apparently he just took off with the country’s fortune.
but that’s not the only thing that apparently is old stuff. i also learned that a lot of my work has already been done, from another angle, by the influence of neural darwinism. there are many parallels to what i have been building, with a major difference. i use a more mathematical and physical definition of how information is represented, whereas this formulation is more empirical, coming from medical science which uses different methods.
there is a strong parallel, especially towards subjectivity and how subjectivity emerges in connected networks. i recommend checking out this interview with edelman about this subject. there are many other models on neural networks, and what i’ve been writing isn’t very original beyond the fact that it has sociological outlines beyond the simple pattern recognition. anyway, i’m not planning on sending my work to sinai anyway, but it’s always good to know the existing ideas.
