During the evolution of the "Standard Model of the Brain-Mind for
Neuroscience, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence" -- which very
assertion is a memetic ploy designed to "epater les bourgeois" in
those fields -- there were two great "aha" moments along the way.

The abrupt realization on WED.24.AUG.1977 that lexical vocabulary
stored in the auditory memory channel can be regarded as phonemic
CODE, unambiguously constituting the psychotopological ADDRESS of
access to concepts, ended the naive and sentimental phase of NTJ:
http://www.newciv.org/Mentifex/ Nolarbeit Theory Journal, Part 2.

There you will learn that on 13.NOV.1978 it suddenly became clear
that each of us must have in our brain-minds an abstract channel,
a SEMANTIC memory of timeless concepts rooted in episodic memory.
It remained to work out the mind-design which you see before you,
and please be appreciative of the fact that it is much easier for
you to react CRITICALLY and CREATIVELY when presented with such a
proposed theory of mind, than it would be for you to start afresh
and to "cast the die" of devoting your entire life to theorizing.
