"many apparently very different and interesting organisations and behaviours are in fact closely related as slight variations within a general, parameterisable, n-way associative memory"

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Many apparently different object-oriented, functional, and relational mechanisms are closely related as variations within a general parameterizable n-way associative memory.claim0.848
• We propose that many, and maybe even all, interesting organisations of information and behaviour might be built from a single primitive operation: n-way associative lookup.claim0.821
  The central thesis of the paper, that associative lookup is a universal building block for dynamic system semantics.
• whether many (maybe even all) useful organisations of information and behaviour in a dynamic language might be constructed from a single primitive operation: n-way associative lookupquestion0.799
  The central research question explored, by way of examples, throughout the paper.
• The collective often displays new behaviors or preferences that are not simply the sum of individual cell behaviors.claim0.780
  Key property of collective intelligence: emergent behaviors at the group level.
• Primitive Mechanism: n-way Associative Memorymethod0.776
  The foundational memory model: a map m associating keys k_i with values v, supporting two operators: associative read and associative write.
• Associations are made across, by recollection, probabilistically.claim0.774
  Grounds textual association in memory and chance, not fixed links.
• it creates a ‘we’; what we are doing, for example, whether our behaviours are coordinated or not, becomes a relevant variable.quote0.771
  Illustrates how non-separable functions shift identity to the collective level.
• There is a many-to-many mapping between neurons and concepts, meaning multiple high-level causal variables might be encoded in overlapping groups of neuronsclaim0.762
