This resembles a brain which learns and organizes via association recognizing that it does so, and expressing this recognition via its own dominant association for “associations”. Comments show variations of other brains which do the same thing and recognize it expressing so via their own dominant associations for it. And so on. The challenge is as always how to manage the unmanageable, how to navigate the unnavigable, because there are too many links in total without some means of focusing/searching, or too few links due to excessive filtering, etc, etc, etc. Trying to find the right metaphor for this has wasted enormous amounts of resources, IMO, because that isn’t “the real problem”, but that’s exactly what every one of us is doing right now, so why not.
