== Propagators ==
Cells must support three operations:
*add some content
*collect the content currently accumulated
*register a propagator to be notified when the accumulated content changes
*When new content is added to a cell, the cell must merge the addition with the content already present. When a propagator asks for the content of a cell, the cell must deliver a complete summary of the information that has been added to it.
*The merging of content must be commutative, associative, and idempotent. The behavior of propagators must be monotonic with respect to the lattice induced by the merge operation.

"We tested the hypothesis that perception of an alternative image in ambiguous figures would be manifest as high-frequency (gamma) components that become synchronized over multiple scalp sites as a "cognitive binding" process occurs."

File:HobsomREMDreamProtoconsciousness.pdf

"Hobson and McCarley originally proposed in the 1970s that the differences in the waking-NREM-REM sleep cycle was the result of interactions between aminergic REM-off cells and cholinergic REM-on cells.[4] This was perceived as the activation-synthesis model, stating that brain activation during REM sleep results in synthesis of dream creation.[1][1] Hobson's five cardinal characteristics include: intense emotions, illogical content, apparent sensory impressions, uncritical acceptance of dream events, and difficulty in being remembered."

random tangents

(following previous discussion) - we might select a few to study in more depth (... or not! Plenty more to explore - suggestions (random or otherwise) are welcome.

some (maybe) interesting background on Information Theory (cool title...)

"We will call a system that transmits without errors at the rate C an ideal system.
 Such a system cannot be achieved with any finite encoding process
 but can be approximated as closely as desired."
