Unmarked Categories

Famous quotes containing the words unmarked and/or categories:

    Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 11:44.

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
