Abstract
A property which is commonplace in the brain but which has always been ignored in the “learning machines” is a meaningful order of their processing units. “Ordering” thereby usually does not mean moving of units to new places. The units may even be structurally identical; the specialized role is determined by their internal parameters which are made to change in certain processes. It then appears as if specific units having a meaningful organization were produced.
