Harry: I like the model, but what are the dimensions within which  the 
attractor exterts its action? Is this just "activation" - in the sense that 
various oscillating clusters invite phase locking - or is there some explicitly 
informational element to it? I see that one could have information embedded in 
the fact of attraction, that *this* cluster oscillates when the chain of things 
to do with chocolate are activated and when *that* cluster - which are to do 
with detecting shiny things - comes on stream, they begin to phase lock in ways 
which set up at least the potential for a long-term relationship, the core of 
the concept "easter egg". It's just that there seem to be easier ways to think 
about the issue!
