  • Descrição: "Although we have endeavored at times to raise a superstructure where the foundation seemed inadequate, certain contributions toward the principles of intelligent mechanisms may have enduring value. Reference is made to the demonstration of the necessity for stable stimulus differentiation and the fact that a functional mechanistic principle has been provided. Likewise, the multipolar neuron, which is not a structurally accurate representation of anatomical data, nevertheless presents a functional principle of more than transitory worth. But most important of all, . . . the Brain Analogy is an instrument for research; it is expected that a physical basis for behavior theory will accelerate progress."
